2013 Celebration of Excellence

The Annual Celebration of Excellence (COE) is Nova Southeastern University's annual signature event hosted by the University President.

It provides the President with an opportunity to showcase the University, share NSU achievements with the community, and discuss the future vision of the university.

The Celebration of Excellence also provides the university with an opportunity to present the President's Excellence in Community Service Awards, which recognizes superior professional engagement activities in the community. The awards encourage the ongoing pursuit of community service and exemplify Nova Southeastern University's "community" core value. Through these awards, NSU proclaims its pride in the accomplishments and personal dedication of its constituents (alumni, community leaders, faculty, staff and students) in the community. These awards are conferred upon individuals (one in each category) who demonstrate significant contributions to the community while exemplifying all eight of NSU's core values.
