Get your all access pass to exclusive NSU alumni benefits!
In addition to receiving an NSU diploma at commencement, our new alumni will also receive an NSU Alumni Association membership card.  This card is a way for our alumni to show their NSU pride and affinity to the university.  As you know, your relationship to NSU does not end at commencement, likewise, our commitment to you lasts long after graduation.  Showing this card during visits to NSU allows our graduates to receive discounts to athletic events, participate in intramural sports, access to the new RecPlex and privileges at NSU’s Alvin Sherman Library.

There is no fee to belong to the NSU Alumni Membership and all alumni are eligible to receive an alumni association membership card.  If you would like a new NSU Alumni Association membership card, please send your name (as you would like it to appear on the card) along with your mailing address to alumweb@nova.edu.  We would be more than happy to send one to you.  For more information on the benefits offered to NSU alumni, please visit www.nova.edu/alumni/benefits.html.

 Sincerely,

Kim Stone, MIBA ‘05
Director of Alumni Relations
