Nova Southeastern University is one step closer to fulfilling its vision to be the South Florida destination for health care education thanks to two new gifts. One will support NSU’s College of Allopathic Medicine, the other will support NSU’s College of Nursing. Combined, these gifts help the university achieve the $250 million goal for its Realizing Potential campaign three years ahead of schedule.

NSU Sweethearts
Happy Valentines Day to our 2018 featured alumni couple!
Their NSU Story - Iliana Vaden (MBA '16) & Chris Vaden (MBA '15)

Iliana and Chris met while working for AT&T in South Florida. Iliana had enrolled in the NSU MBA program in 2015 and Chris enrolled soon after “partly to share in the struggle and partly to open up new career opportunities” he said. The access to online classes allowed them to continue their studies when Iliana was offered a promotion within her company in Atlanta, GA.  

They since completed their programs and are active members in the NSU Atlanta Alumni Association. They attribute their advanced degrees to helping them “stand out in Atlanta’s competitive job marketplace” and to bringing them closer together as a couple. They are now both happily married and gainfully employed. Iliana says, “we are so happy to have met one another and to have achieved this incredible educational milestone together. We are proud to call ourselves Sharks!”
Recap: NSU Takeover Night at the Florida Panthers
With over 300 alumni and guests in attendance, this year’s NSU Takeover Night at the BB&T Center was a huge success!

The event featured an all-you-can-eat buffet in the VIP Sky lounge, an open bar, a special gift from Alumni Affairs, and the opportunity to go out on the ice and shoot a puck shot after the game.

NSU's mascot, Razor the Shark and a few lucky alumni even rode the Zamboni during an intermission! 

Attendees return year after year, and consistently tell us that this is one of their favorite events on the alumni calendar.

All In For NSU - Save The Date!
NSU’s All-In Day is a 1,964-minute online giving campaign in support of academic programs, scholarships and student activities at Nova Southeastern University.
