New Leadership at Nova Southeastern University’s Orlando Campus
Orlando, FL ---- Nova Southeastern University’s Orlando Student Educational Center is going through some exciting changes.
We have a new leader and programs to meet the needs of a growing enrollment.
Cathy Anton, who has been a Central Florida resident for seven years, is now the educational center’s site director. Anton oversees a staff of assistant directors who are tasked to expand the center’s enrollment, which currently stands at 1,308.
“NSU is one of the best kept secrets in the area,” Anton said. “Our instructors and staff not only provide quality education and counseling to our students, but each individual is encouraged to strive for excellence within their family, community, and workplace.”
Anton’s job requires her to develop and maintain strong relationships with Central Florida’s businesses and government entities.
Anton has been an assistant director at the Orlando center since 2004.
Prior to that, she was the director of the National Safety Council’s Central/North Florida Chapter. Anton developed and executed a business plan for the nonprofit’s multi-site safety and health training organization, which serves 44 counties throughout the state.
At the Orlando student educational center, Anton helps matriculate students into programs such as business, education, family therapy, mental-health counseling, early childhood education and management education.
She also helps recruit students for the site’s newest program: physician’s assistant. Nova Southeastern University is the first and only university in Central Florida to offer the program.
