Perspectives Summer/Fall 2016

2 • NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY “One is not born into the world to do everything, but to do something.” — Henry David Thoreau In many vocations in life, we are afforded the unique privilege of directly touching and influ- encing the lives of many with whom we come in contact. Nowhere is that sentiment truer than in a university setting, where we encoun- ter students who are hungry for knowledge and experience as they pursue their life ambitions. As employees and alumni of the College of Health Care Sciences (CHCS), we play a major role in helping those students achieve their ambitions. We do so, in part, by keeping the college and university strong through the provision of quality instruction, dedicated service, and benevolent financial efforts. It is in the area of giving to which this edition of Perspectives is devoted, and for those who have contributed, I offer my sincere gratitude for your generosity. Your support of the CHCS through sponsorship of scholarships allows the college to continue to prosper and grow, as well as provide out- standing education to our students. As valued alumni and faculty and staff members of the college and the university, your contributions have enormous impact. A little goes a long way, and when you make a gift to the university, you join thousands of alumni, parents, friends, and faculty and staff members who support the college and its students. The CHCS remains a college of choice and excellence for many students. With your support, we can help our students complete their education while making the most of their academic experience. As dean of the college, I believe in giving back to the university that helps me thrive and succeed every day. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities I have received as an NSU employee. I challenge you to give to help others succeed. Every gift, regardless of its size, makes a difference.
