University
Fort
Lauderdale, Florida (May 16, 2008) –
Nova Southeastern University and The Coordinating
Council of Broward County formed the Quality
of Life Council in 2003 to address critical
needs in Broward County in a broad range of
important topics that span healthcare, work
force, education, poverty and a number of
other vital issues that affect us here in
Broward County. The council’s members
include many significant figures from our
Broward County community such as: Children’s
Services Council, North Broward Hospital District,
Bellsouth Business, Henderson Mental Health
Center, South Florida Region Planning Council,
along with many Directors, Associates and
Faculty from NSU's Colleges and Schools.
The
mission of the NSU/CCB 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. http://www.nova.edu/cwis/qol/
