Focus on FIRST RESPONDERS

Law enforcement officers. Firefighters. Emergency medical technicians. Dispatchers. Crime scene investigators. By nature of their professions, first responders witness far more trauma than the average citizen. The NSU First Responder Research and Training Program, led by its director Vincent Van Hasselt, Ph.D., provides training to help first responders prevent mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, sleep problems, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicide.

NSU 9/11 Day of Remembrance

Share your memories of and lessons learned from the events of 9/11 with NSU students. This year's event will include an educational component for students to learn more about the day and the impact it had on the lives of those who were at Ground Zero and those who were watching the news unfold. The memorial event will honor first responders, health care professionals, and others who rushed in to help in the midst of devastation.

GIVING Opportunity

Professor Mark Duncan, M.F.A., founded the performing and visual arts programs at NSU, introducing students to new experiences, new passions, and new connections. He first built the NSU Theatre program from the ground up and then launched programs in art, design, music, and dance.

Tragically, Duncan passed away due to cancer at the age of 49. The Mark Lindsay Duncan Legacy Endowment for the Arts will help support the NSU programs he created, honoring his dedication to the arts, students, and creativity.
