Student Newsletter - July 2, 2007

From the Dean,

Faculty and staff in the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences are busy preparing for the upcoming academic year, with exciting cocurricular programs, new scholarship opportunities, challenging classes, and thought-provoking academic events being planned.

The college works hard to provide you with an all-encompassing education that extends beyond the classroom. These learning opportunities allow you to apply acquired knowledge to practical, real-life situations. Our Clinic Exploration Program (CEP) teams students with health care professionals in many of NSU’s clinics. Our Undergraduate Honors Program offers accelerated interdisciplinary classes and activities for high-achieving students. In order to take advantage of the college’s many stimulating programs and courses, I encourage you to meet with your academic advisor, who can assist in tracking your major’s requirements, planning your academic career, and registering for classes. In order to obtain the schedule and course-load that you desire, I recommend registering for the fall semester as soon as possible.

The college remains committed to maintaining small, personalized classes led by outstanding professors. We are currently recruiting new full-time faculty from around the country for the fall 2007 semester. We look for faculty members who are not only top-notch experts in their respective fields, but are also passionate about sharing their knowledge with you. Throughout the year, NSU undergraduates accompany professors to academic seminars and conferences, assist in research initiatives, and gain hands-on experience in their disciplines. This interaction between students and faculty is a key attribute of our college.  

As dean of the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, I view education as an individual and personal experience. Therefore, it is my goal to challenge and engage each one of you. I look forward to welcoming you to NSU for the 2007–2008 academic year.

Sincerely,

Don Rosenblum, Ph.D.
Dean, Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences
