The Student Life Achievement Awards, affectionately known as the "STUEYs," is an annual celebration of Nova Southeastern University’s best.
More than a decade ago, it was the vision of Brad Williams, Ed.D. to create a celebration to recognize those who further a sense of campus community. Thus, the Student Life Achievement Awards were born. This event is a celebration of the hundreds of activities designed to enrich the overall student experience of the NSU community.
The Nomination Process
