Assistant Dean of Huizenga’s College of Business Appointed to the South Broward District Board of Commissioners

Steven Harvey, M.B.A.

 

Earlier this month, Steven Harvey, M.B.A., assistant dean of NSU’s H. Huizenga’s College of Business, was appointed to the South Broward Hospital District’s Board of Commissioners. Harvey was appointed by Governor Ron De Santis and will be serving a four-year term.

Harvey’s appointment is great news for NSU, particularly as the university continues to build upon its M.B.A. concentration in Complex Health Systems. This concentration offers an opportunity for students to study the “business of health care,” by using technology, research, and innovation to implement business solutions in health care settings.

Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship Student Tops City Furniture Case Competition

This fall semester, NSU’s Department of Career Development collaborated with City Furniture to host a case study focused on developing a marketing/business solution plan to entice millennials and Gen Z students to use City Furniture for their apartment furniture needs and compete with companies such as IKEA.

Seven teams (11 students total) competed in the competition, 9 out of the 11 students represented the Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship. Students were able to share solutions that would help expand City Furniture’s target audience and get buy in from Millennial and Gen Z customers. One of our undergraduate business students, Krystian Dear, won the competition and received the $1,000 prize.

City Furniture was so impressed with our students that they plan to host another competition at NSU. In addition, City Furniture will be looking to implement the solutions provided by students into their future business plans.

NSU has been hosting case competitions for four years and counting, and the variety of topics as well as experiences and prizes will continue to grow as opportunities expand and more students participate. If you are interested in potentially joining a future case competition, please contact the NSU Career Development at (954) 262-7201 or visit https://www.nova.edu/career/students/professional-development.html.
