The passion that unites Nova Southeastern University with our donors and partners is the drive to make a meaningful and positive impact on the world around us. Whether through our shared investment in people, communities, business and economy, or our environment, together we can change lives today and enrich the future for those who come after us. We are marching forward in our rise as a preeminent, national research university—one of only two world-class private universities here in Florida. When we reached the capstone of our Vision 2020, we exceeded our goals for philanthropic and research dollars. Now, as part of our Vision 2025 Campaign to Preeminence, we will bring that total to $1 billion, which includes $500 million in philanthropic gifts and $500 million in research funding. In the process, we will increase NSU’s endowment to an all-time high of $300 million to strengthen our financial sustainability and begin to match more of our competitors. As NSU thrives, so do our students, faculty, staff, alumni, partners, patients, donors, communities, and even our region. By 2025, NSU’s economic impact on the state of Florida is projected to reach $5 billion or more. There are so many ways the NSU community of educators, researchers, health care providers, students, and volunteers are partnering with donors and investors, like you, to truly make a difference in the world—and shape the legacies we leave behind. Across NSU’s 14 colleges, its libraries and NSU Art Museum, its research and innovation centers, its athletics program and NSU University School, we are making an impact in the causes that mean the most to you, our donors and partners. These focused areas of impact range from health care to business and innovation, from pediatrics and child development to diversity and inclusion, from arts and culture to marine conservation, from athletics and team-building to supporting our students and faculty. NSU’s Campaign to Preeminence allows us to aim higher and make even greater contributions to today’s most urgent needs. Together, we can • Elevate the physical and mental well-being of our communities through new standards in health care education, research, and clinical practices. • Nurture and protect our children through innovations in pediatric medicine, health care, child development, and education. • Sustain the oceans, marine life, and the natural world around us, extending the spirit of sustainability to business and professional life as well. • Kindle an investment in future leaders through student scholarships, professorships, and program support. • Bolster our businesses, professions, and economic vitality through investments in innovation, technology, and the talent we need for the future. • Cultivate the arts community, enriching our cultural life and ensuring it reaches all in our diverse communities. • Foster diversity, equity, inclusion, teamwork, and belonging in our own—and shared—communities, here at home and around the world. • Champion the drive to excellence, leadership, and teamwork—along with personal well-being— through collegiate athletics, recreational sports, and fitness programs. A Message from the President Preeminence sparks the best in us and pushes us to create something magical and magnanimous. The trust and generosity of donors, like you, make it all possible.

From the first day I toured campus, I knew NSU was the place I wanted—I needed— to be. It felt safe here, it was beautiful, but, mostly, because I felt welcomed and appreciated. Today, I have mentors and career support that will take me a long way in life.” Joshua Robinson ’22 Information Technology and Business Administration Major I’m working hard to be a board-certified physician. But what keeps me going—and what I strive the most for—is to make sure I’ll be the kind of doctor who makes a positive impact. Being able to go on mission trips to help people overseas in underserved areas—that’s what has given me a taste of the kind of physician I want to be.” Charles de la Rosa, ’23 Second-Year Medical Student, D.O. I’m not sure everyone realizes how many ‘household-name’ psychology researchers and educators are at or affiliated with NSU. Not only that, but there’s a larger professional community, a family—both here on campus and out in the world—that supports and helps you for a lifetime. I’m so proud to be part of the network of mentors and colleagues that make this meaningful work even more rewarding.” Brandi N. Diaz, M.A. ’22 Doctoral Candidate, Clinical Psychology, Forensic Psychology Specialty Leaving the Marines and reentering civilian life was tougher than I imagined. I knew I wanted to pursue my graduate degree, but I was worried about getting lost in the shuffle at one of the larger state schools. NSU provided me with the support and environment I needed to get my confidence and focus back. I think, especially for men and women coming out of the military, NSU can be our next family and our launching pad for success and happiness here at home.” Abraham Diaz ’21 M.B.A. Graduate “ “ “ “ SCHOLARSHIPS CHANGE LIVES Undergraduate, Graduate, and Professional Students Are Better Prepared for Success

These groups foster the conservation and restoration of reef systems with their impact on shoreline and property protection from hurricanes, as well as the multimillion-dollar fishing and SCUBA diving industries in Florida and across the globe. NSU researchers like Abigail Renegar, Ph.D., and her colleagues partner with NOAA and other federal agencies and NGOs to make advancements in preserving these valuable natural resources.

Groundbreaking research by Mahmood Shivji, Ph.D., on marine genetics and large animal migrations consistently receives worldwide recognition. NSU’s Guy Harvey Research Institute and Save Our Seas Foundation Shark Research Center are global leaders in understanding and conserving ocean life, including learning how certain species can contribute to improving human medicine.
