NSU's Overall Case Statement | Realizing Potential Campaign

7 OUR STUDENTS One key strategic goal for NSU is to provide opportunities to students from diverse backgrounds and develop the next generation of leaders. Graduates leave NSU not just with a world-class education but also with the confidence to step in and lead, the ability to absorb the right information, and the agility to respond quickly to changing situations. They head into the workforce prepared for success in many fields—even fields that are just emerging. OUR FACULTY Members Serving as a talent magnet for bright minds at the forefront of their fields is one of the best ways a university can serve its community. NSU’s faculty members drive curriculum and academic program innovation. In addition, faculty members not only help students realize their potential but, through fundamental and leading-edge research and outreach, they also affect the lives of people throughout the community—and the world—every day. 21st-CENTURY EDUCATION Preparing graduates for success in an ever-changing world means keeping up with the latest methods of teaching, learning, and assessing. As a research institution that offers innovative interdisciplinary academic initiatives, highly rigorous science and honors programs, and education from junior kindergarten through doctoral degrees and beyond, NSU is uniquely positioned to give its students the skills they need to excel in today’s knowledge-based economy. NSU is 1 of only 37 higher education institutions to earn designations for both High Research Activity and Community Engagement from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
