NSU University School Students Get Creative with Innovative Challenges

NSU University School 4th grade students have already had the opportunity to participate in a number of innovative challenges this new school year. They have been programming cubelets to rock/wobble, creating their own worlds through an app on the iPad, coding spheros to complete various tasks, using strawbees to build complicated structures, and even getting creative and problem solving with legos. We look forward to watching their critical thinking skills improve as they continue to work with the 4th grade and Innovation Lab teams throughout the school year.

Alpha Lambda Rho Chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha housed in CAHSS Receives a Best Chapter Award for 2018-2019

Pi Sigma Alpha

The Alpha Lambda Rho chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, housed in the Department of History and Political Science in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) received a Best Chapter Award for 2018-2019 by the national office of Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society. It was one of only six chapters nationwide to receive this award.  NSU’s chapter focuses on recognizing and cultivating creative student leaders through both scholarship and service. In addition to being recognized for academic excellence and obtaining the right to wear honor regalia, the chapter received a 2018 Chapter Activity Grant of $675.

Outgoing chapter president Tal Lubarsky stated, “This truly would not have been possible without the department’s help. A special thank you goes to Dr. Edwards, who worked tirelessly to ensure that we were a successful chapter. His enthusiasm and innovative ideas were largely a reason that we were so successful. I can’t wait to see this chapter develop and grow!”

Chapter advisor and DHPS faculty member Ransford F. Edwards Jr., Ph.D., applauded Lubarsky. “Tal has been instrumental in not only founding our chapter, but also in managing its growth and reflects in our chapter. And it reflects well on our University.”  He added the award honors the “enthusiastic, creative, and tireless work of all the student members.”  The incoming chapter president is Daniel Ordaz.

Every summer, Sean Twombly, the Executive Director of Pi Sigma Alpha, spends hours reading Annual Reports from chapters across the country. Twombly states that, “While time consuming, it is always rewarding to see the amazing work chapters are engaged in through the course of the year. I am delighted…that the Alpha Lambda Rho Chapter has been chosen to receive one of Pi Sigma Alpha’s Best Chapter Awards for 2018-2019. These awards are intended to recognize local chapters that are particularly active in their departments and universities and exhibit high levels of energy and creativity in furthering the goals of the honor society.”
