Education Doctoral Student Receives Assistant Principal Award

Dan Vera and Nicola Gardere

Nicola Gardere, a student in the doctor of education program at Nova Southeastern University’s  Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice has been named as one of Texas’ Outstanding Assistant Principals in the state.

Gardere attended the Texas Association for Secondary Schools Principals (TASSP) Conference last month where she was awarded the Outstanding Assistant Principal of the Year for Region 12 in the State of Texas.

The news was previously announced and covered by the Marlin Democrat.

“I am grateful and honored to be selected as the Region 12 Assistant Principal of the Year,” Gardere told the newspaper at the time. “As a servant leader it is important for me to be successful because my success creates opportunities for others.”

Joining Gardere at the conference was Alumni Ambassador Dan Vera, Ed.D. Vera recently began serving as an Alumni Ambassador back in February and in that time, he has helped get the word out to prospective students in Texas and establish partnerships with two organizations.

One of the organizations NSU has partnered with is the Texas Association for Secondary School Principals, allowing members of the group to receive a 20% discount on the college’s program.

Congratulations Nicola and thank you Dan for all your work!
