JOSÉ ROBERTO (BETO) JUÁREZ, JR.

Dean and Professor of Law

Greetings to all our NSU, Shepard Broad College of Law alumni. The Board of Governors is an advisory board charged with providing assistance and counsel to Dean Juarez and his designated administrators, for the overall development and enhancement of our College of Law. At present, 30 dedicated members of that board, most of whom are NSU graduates, work throughout each fiscal year to advance our College of Law as one of the country’s leading law schools. Over my 20+ years of service to this Board of Governors, much has been accomplished. Yet much remains to be done.

This newsletter is being launched to open a dialogue with the many talented and successful alumni of our College of Law. By communicating with you on a regular basis, our goal is to activate alumni and involve each of you in the exciting “Vision 2025, Campaign to Preeminence” ongoing at this time, to bring NSU and most importantly, its College of Law, to the level of preeminence. >>Read more...

The Board of Governors has launched the "Graduates of the Last Decade" (GOLD) program to support the law

school's recent graduates during the first 10 years after

graduation. This program is exclusively available to recent

graduates and offers a range of unique services and

benefits, including specialized educational and CLE credit

programs, networking opportunities, mentorship, and

more. Through the GOLD program, recent graduates can

stay connected with the law school, fostering a lasting

relationship with their alma mater.

The GOLD program is led by co-chairs Judge Kal Evans and

Charles Tatelbaum, who are both members of the Board of

Governors. A brief video highlighting the program's goals

and benefits will be shared soon with those who are

eligible for membership. Additionally, the program will

leverage various social media channels to keep GOLD

members informed of upcoming events and opportunities.

It's important to note that all GOLD program services are

free of charge, and there will never be any solicitations for

contributions in connection with membership or

participation. This means that recent graduates can take

full advantage of the program's offerings without any

financial obligation.

Overall, the GOLD program is a valuable resource for

recent law school graduates, providing them with the tools

and support they need to succeed in their early careers.
