Message from the Dean
Dear Students‚
The summer and NSU's annual undergraduate Commencement ceremony are around the corner.
To our graduating seniors, I encourage each of you to participate. Your dedication and studies culminate with this day, which you will remember for years to come. Your faculty members and I look forward to seeing you cross the stage. Remember that as an alum of the college, you will always be a valued member of the NSU family.
For our returning students, summer is a great time for both rejuvenation and expanding your knowledge, skills‚ and education. Perhaps you’ve enrolled in classes this summer, plan to travel-study abroad, or will pursue a seasonal job or internship. I hope you take advantage of the valuable learning opportunities available inside of and beyond the classroom.
Sincerely,
Don Rosenblum, Ph.D.
Dean, Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences
