| Alumni Opinion Survey |
Thank you so much for your participation in the Alumni Opinion Survey. We feel that the success of NSU is measured by our graduates, and our quality is improved by assessing your perception of your NSU experience. Your opinions, praise and criticism are all valuable in improving our programs and services. The following is a summary of key findings from the survey:
- Nearly 100% of alumni surveyed take pride in being an NSU graduate
- Over 90% agree that NSU continues to have a positive impact on their career
- Nearly 80% agree that NSU is a “lifelong experience”
- Nearly 2/3 of alumni who responded feel either “well” or “somewhat” connected to NSU
- Alumni value NSU’s flexibility, convenience, choices in programs, timing, setting, small class size, and respected, real-world experience faculty
- Alumni want to hear about success stories of fellow alumni
- Alumni agree that NSU’s printed and e-communications are valuable sources of information
- Alumni suggest more social and networking events, where different groups could come together as one. Others suggest more contact and emails.
- If they were to hit the lottery, alumni would first support students with scholarships and financial aid, giving them the opportunity to have the NSU experience
Remember that your NSU Alumni Association is always here to serve you. Again, we thank you for your participation, and look forward to seeing you at an upcoming alumni program!

 Yseult Charles, Ed.S. ‘02, Site Administrator, Juvenile Justice Center School, was honored by the National Council for Research on Women (NCRW) and she is now permanently featured on the website as a member of its Honor Roll. This Haitian-born educational leader has been a staunch supporter of children at risk for the duration of her distinguished career as teacher and administrator in the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district. Before assuming her role at the Juvenile Justice Center School, Charles served as teacher, assistant principal, and principal at seven other elementary, community, and senior high/alternative schools within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district. Charles' career with the school district began in 1991 and her unwavering support for the education and welfare of children has earned her high marks among local and national leaders, as her recent Honor Roll status at NCRW attests. Retirement is not an option for Charles, but she will deftly manage what she sees at a twofold mission: commitment to students in Miami-Dade County, and a determination to conduct humanitarian work. |
