Congratulations to our newest members of the NSU Alumni Association. This spring Nova Southeastern University will be graduating nearly 4000 new alumni. They will join the more than 78,000 NSU alumni currently residing in all 50 states and in more than 55 foreign countries. As our alumni base grows, so does our pride for the university. As I advise our recent graduates, I would like to remind you that your commitment to NSU should not end at commencement. I encourage you to stay involved with NSU and be an active member of our Alumni Association. With more than 20 alumni chapters around the country, there are numerous opportunities for you to stay connected with your alma mater. I look forward to seeing you at upcoming alumni events!
