I want to take this opportunity to thank the nearly 350 donors who went “all in” with NSU this past Tuesday, helping to raise almost $25,000 in 24 hours. We had 100 percent participation from our President’s Council members, and received gifts from 140 alumni donors and more than 160 faculty and staff members. We appreciate everyone who contributed to support NSU programs, initiatives, and students on #GivingTuesdayNow. 
Fins Up! to the Class of 2020
Commencement ceremonies for the Class of 2020 were originally scheduled to begin on Friday May 8. Although the ceremonial portion of this momentous occasion will be held sometime in the future, NSU President Dr. George Hanbury extended his congratulations to the Class of 2020 for their hard work and dedication. The video celebration also features messages from a few of our graduates.
