Established by NSU's 6th President, George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D., The President's 64 is an elite body of student leaders whose purpose is to strengthen the relationship between Nova Southeastern University and its community. This organization is comprised of 64 hand-selected undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, representing different constituencies of NSU's diverse student population. Members of The President's 64 provide targeted feedback to the President, serve as student ambassadors and representatives at University events.
