NSU Participates in 2015 eMerge Americas Conference
Last year, entrepreneur Manny Medina started the eMerge Americas Conference. This event is a global idea exchange that focuses on how technology and innovation are impacting industries. The idea is to help connect revolutionary startups, cutting-edge ideas and global industry leaders and investors in North America, Europe and Latin America.
And part of this movement is the inclusion of educational leaders and institutions – including Nova Southeastern University. NSU’s Mission and Core Values tie directly in with the goal of the eMerge Americas conference – we are dedicated to expanding and engaging in technological advancements and innovation to help our students succeed, not only in business, but in life.
This is the second year of the conference, and the first involving NSU participation. The NSU booth featured guest speakers and subject matter experts who provided presentations information on the various research, innovation and educational opportunities being conducted by our students and staff. From shark tagging and research to the latest in 3-D medical training technology to tips on personal finance – convention goers had the opportunity to learn directly from NSU’s best and brightest.
In addition to speakers at NSU’s booth, George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D., NSU president & CEO, participated on the “EdTech 2.0: Presidents Edition” panel with other leaders in higher education. J. Preston Jones, dean of NSU’s H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business & Entrepreneurship, took part in a panel with fellow business school deans titled “EdTech 2.0: Skill Patterns of Successful Entrepreneurs and How to Get Them!”
