The Highest Honor for NSU Alumni
Each year, Nova Southeastern University honors outstanding graduates with the Distinguished Alumni Achievement Awards, the highest and most prestigious honor that a graduate can receive.
This award ceremony recognizes alumni around the world who have demonstrated a record of distinguished service and extraordinary achievement in a particular profession, discipline, organization, or community cause.
“There are many ways to determine the value of a university. I believe that one of the most important ways is by what our graduates bring to the communities across the country and around the world after graduation. These honorees make NSU proud!”
Dr. George Hanbury | President and CEO of NSU
