When the winners were announced on April 16 at NSU’s Miniaci Performing Arts Center, the honorees included Terry Morrow, Ph.D., assis- tant dean of student affairs, who took home the Executive of the Year STUEY, and Kristin Fer- guson, class of 2014 Physician Assistant Orlando Program student, who was named SEC Student of the Year from NSU’s various regional cam- puses. In addition, Danielle Key, a class of 2013 physician assistant student from Fort Lauderdale, was presented with the College of Health Care Sciences’ Student of the Year Award, although she did not capture the broader NSU Student of the Year accolade. This trio of outstanding college leaders was formally recognized from a list of many accom- plished peers at NSU. To assist with soliciting nominations from our community members, the NSU Division of Student Affairs worked with the college’s Office of Student Affairs. Peer recognition runs deep in the veins of the College of Health Care Sciences as evidenced by the many nominations that were submitted this year to the selection committee. During the actual STUEY ceremony, students as well as staff and faculty members from the college packed into the Miniaci Performing Arts Center to show their support for the many nominees and winners that were recognized that night.
