Graduation 2012
Senior Week provided an abundance of opportunities for the class of 2012 to get reacquainted while
participating in a range of fun-filled activities that included a golf tournament, a jovial dining experience at
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in Fort Lauderdale, and a festive awards banquet at the Westin Diplomat Resort and
Spa in Hollywood. The week culminated on Sunday, May 27 when 234 D.O., 60 Master of Public Health, and 14
Master of Biomedical Informatics degrees were conferred during the NSU Health Professions Division (HPD)
Commencement Ceremony at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise.
During the ceremony, graduates from the various HPD colleges were acknowledged for their accomplishments
in front of an enthusiastic audience filled with family, friends, and faculty members. Jonathan Cohn, a senior
editor at the New Republic and a nationally recognized authority on health care policy, served as the keynote
speaker. His keynote address, titled “Healing the Nation,” focused on the obligations of graduates to ensure
America’s health care system works better and is more efficient.
