U.S. Army Major General Antonio Munera meets with NSU’s ROTC cadets.

U.S. Army Major General Antonio Munera, who leads the U.S. Army Cadet Command’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), visited NSU’s Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus on Tuesday, Jan. 30.

Munera sought to familiarize himself with universities and colleges in South Florida, gain a better understanding of the education track at NSU and discuss growing the ROTC program at NSU.

Major Gen. Munera has lunch with Dr. Moon.

Munera’s met with ROTC cadets, thanked them for their service, reminded them how good the NSU program is and told them about his plans to expand the program at NSU.

“The Army is a people business,” he said. “Your mission is to make subordinates and peers better than they thought they could be.”

He cautioned the cadets to think about their “digital footprint” and how they promote themselves online. The meeting culminated in a photo shoot with the cadets at Forman Field at the Armed Forces Service Flag Plaza outside the Horvitz Administration Building.

Munera visited the Alan B. Levan I NSU Broward Center of Innovation. He toured the center’s cybersecurity range, which equips organizations with the knowledge and skills to tackle cyber threats. He also was introduced to the center’s volumetric capture studio, a leader in 3D content creation.

Col. Ken Green, head of the Broward County Junior ROTC program; and Sandra Wendland, director of NSU Military Affairs. The group discussed NSU’s collaborations and commitment to the military.

Miniaci To Feature ‘Cross That River – A Story of a Black Cowboy’

NSU’s Miniaci Performing Arts Center will stage the musical production of “Cross That River-The Story of a Black Cowboy” on Feb. 7 at the Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center from 7 to 9 p.m.

The popular production, written by award-winning jazz musician, vocalist and songwriter Allan Harris, tells the often-untold story of the “Black West” and its inspiring story of hope and freedom.

The unsettled West of the 1860s provides a new life and new dreams for Blue, a runaway slave, who escapes from slavery to Texas to become one of America’s first Black cowboys. The compelling tale of freedom integrates fiction with historical fact, and each song presents a different page in a complicated chapter of American history.

There are 50 free seats available to attend this program. Tickets are available by registering at lib.nova.edu/ctrfreetix.
