About Community Engagement

The primary goal of the Office of Institutional and Community Engagement (ICE) is to facilitate, coordinate, and document the implementation of NSU's institutional and community initiatives and to direct and disseminate information about the systematic, integrated processes that assess them. The Office provides resources and assistance to faculty, administration and staff of Nova Southeastern University as well as to NSU's community affiliates.
