NSU Celebrates The Life and Legacy of H. Wayne Huizenga
Wayne. Very few people can be identified simply by saying their first name. But in South Florida – and the international business world – when you said Wayne, people knew you were referring to H. Wayne Huizenga. His passing not only leaves a hole in the South Florida Community, but it also brings to mind the huge, positive impact he has had on so many lives.

“Wayne was not only a consummate entrepreneur, but a humanitarian,” said NSU President, Dr. George L. Hanbury. “And as trustee Emeritus, he will always be loved by the NSU community. Wayne’s statue will be permanently sitting under a shade tree denoting the seeds of greatness he has planted throughout the university and our entire community.”
