NSU 2014-2015 Undergraduate Catalog

10 Nova Southeastern University • Undergraduate Student Catalog • 2014–2015 Letter from the President Welcome to Nova Southeastern University. Our faculty, administration, and support staff are dedicated to assisting you in accomplishing your academic goals and aspirations. Along this journey, we are also committed to engage you so that your health, wellness, and the concept of “service to others” are enhanced. In other words, by the time you graduate, we not only want you to expand your mind with knowledge and wisdom, but we want to prepare you to be leaders in any area you choose and to make the world a better place to live. Like the ancient Greeks, we truly believe in providing an environment that builds an individual’s mind and body, while developing a spirit of community. With more than 150 academic programs, I urge you to exercise “passionate curiosity” in exploring many academic options during your undergraduate or graduate school years. Our faculty prides itself on sharing the most contemporary knowledge. Whether you take courses in classrooms, laboratories, clinics, or online, the faculty, clinicians, counselors, and staff are available to provide individual attention to each of you. Please tap into the minds of these gifted individuals. NSU also offers you the complete college experience through diverse athletic programs, NCAA sport teams, activities, clubs, and organizations within modern facilities and beautiful surroundings. Explore some of these activities and support your favorite Shark team, whose athletes are also your classmates. But remember, your primary mission at NSU is to pursue your academic goals and aspirations. Your experience at the university is a direct result of what you make of it. Have a wonderful year! If you should ever have any questions for me or my colleagues, please do not hesitate to ask. If you need an appointment, I will make time to meet with you, or you may communicate with me through email, or through the “Ask the President” tab on my Web page or on Facebook. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting with you around campus. Sincerely yours, George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D. President/CEO, Nova Southeastern University
