About Us

Nova Southeastern University in response to our community’s needs have partnered with several Broward County agencies to form the Quality of Life Council. The council’s members include many significant figures from our Broward County community such as: Children’s Services Council, Henderson Mental Health Center, Broward Health, Broward Sheriff’s Office, Bellsouth Business, South Florida Region Planning Council, along with many Directors, Associates and Faculty from NSU's Colleges and Schools.

The mission of the NSU Quality of Life (QOL) Council is a simple one: take the most serious problems affecting the quality of life in Broward County, bring the best minds of NSU’s faculty, students, and community providers to bear, and the results will be a better quality of life for Broward County. Through the efforts of the university president and its Trustees, as well as community organizations, funds have been targeted to support faculty scholarship in applied research to improve the Quality of Life in Broward County These funds are awarded in the following 6 categories: Autism, Children & Families, Criminal Justice, Elderly, Foster Care and General.
