Teachers for Tomorrow

The third annual Teachers for Tomorrow Conference was a remarkable success. This year’s event celebrated the theme “Educational Passion, Purpose, and Entrepreneurship.” It brought together a passionate community of more than 190 attendees, including aspiring educators, faculty, NSU students, NSU alumni, and education leaders from across the country.

As a fully student-run conference, the event showcased the dedication and leadership of the Pre-Professional Strategic Team students, who worked tirelessly to organize and execute every detail. Their efforts were supported and guided by Lucas Williams, director of the Fischler Academy; Assistant Professor Jennifer Berne; and Sean Stanton, admissions coordinator and founder of the conference.

The conference featured dynamic keynote speakers, engaging breakout sessions, and hands-on workshops designed to spark innovation and creativity in education. Highlights included a panel discussion on entrepreneurial approaches in teaching, collaborative sessions co-led by Fischler Academy students and NSU’s Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice faculty, and opportunities to network with peers dedicated to transforming education.

Attendees left inspired, equipped with actionable strategies, and energized to make a meaningful impact in their future classrooms. This annual event continues to grow as a cornerstone for empowering and celebrating the next generation of educators.

Adrienne Fuller

Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice graduate Adrienne Fuller, Ed.D., is taking on a new role at Florida Memorial University.

Fuller has been named as the director of online education and educational technology. Using Blackboard, Fuller will oversee the enhancement of online courses and programs.

Fuller graduated from NSU with her master’s degree and doctorate in Instructional Technology and Distance Education.

Fuller said she didn’t expect this opportunity at first. She previously worked as a teacher with the Broward County School District and did instructional design on the side. However, she stopped to finish her doctorate and hoped to continue afterward.

“I thought that I would find myself doing some additional part time work in instructional design to kind of get back into the field because I had stopped for a short period of time to finish the doctoral program,” she said. “That was the route that I was preparing to head into until this opportunity opened, and I applied, and the rest is history.”
