Join Us for Your 2021 Town Hall Meetings, April 23

With the maelstrom of 2020 behind us, we are ready to look forward to a new year and new beginnings.

Each year, President Hanbury takes time to provide you with university updates and, more importantly, to hear from you about what is going well and how we can improve.

The 2021 Employee Town Halls will look a little different with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This year, they all will be held via Zoom to keep everyone as safe as possible, while still providing you with an opportunity to engage with President Hanbury about NSU’s present and future.

Questions and comments can be submitted in advance or asked live during the meeting. You can find dates and times and submit a question in advance by clicking here.

All questions will be answered and posted on the Town Hall web page. For additional information regarding the Employee Town Hall Schedule, visit nova.edu/townhall.

You can also contact Nick Pascucci via email with any questions.

We look forward to seeing you on Zoom!
