International Relations Group Hosts Model UN Event

The Nova International Relations Association, a longtime student group in the Department of Humanities and Politics, hosted its 10th Annual Model United Nations on Wednesday, February 1, 2023.

The event, under the leadership of our professor and Model UN Team Coach, George Nelson Bass III, Ph.D., J.D., had eight local high schools (including USchool) and more than 170 participants! It was a resounding success and created a buzz in the schools about NSU.

We were grateful for use of the Alan B. Levan NSU Broward Center of Innovation as it really showcased NSU to the public – both parents and prospective students. They were impressed!

Halmos Announces Dialogues in Local Democracy

Nova Southeastern University is delighted to announce an exciting community project designed to bring participants from across Broward County to the university’s main campus in Davie for facilitated dialogues related to their communities. The project, “Dialogues in Local Democracy,” is a new project initiated by NSU’s Council for Dialogue and Democracy and supported by the university and through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.  (Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of Florida Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities).

The goal of the project is to provide an opportunity for community participants to share their thoughts, suggestions, and reflections about their community. Facilitated dialogues will take place on the NSU main campus in Davie on three Saturdays, February 18th, March 18th and April 15th.  Sessions will run from 8:30 am to 2 pm with breakfast and lunch provided.  Transportation can be arranged as needed. We are inviting participation from residents in Broward County.

The Council for Dialogue and Democracy (CDD) is a collaboration between the Department of Conflict Analysis and Resolution and Department of Humanities and Politics in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences and Guy Harvey Oceanographic Research Center.
