Message from Dean Kimberly Durham
Please accept FCE’s congratulations on your completing your program of study. I hope you will join us in marking this event by attending the commencement ceremony. Contrary to popular thought, commencement does not mean the end of something; rather it means the beginning of a new chapter in your professional life. We are proud to have participated in your journey and know that over the past few years you have established a relationship with Nova Southeastern University.
I personally want to encourage your continuing involvement with the Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice; we want you to let us know where you are working and about exciting events in your life. Together we can work collaboratively in enhancing our respective professional commitments.
