NSU Set to Celebrate Homecoming 2008
FT. LAUDERDALE-DAVIE, Fla. — Nova Southeastern University (NSU) will celebrate its 2008 Homecoming from Feb. 15-23 with special events on the school’s main campus.
The week-long activities will culminate with the unveiling of NSU’s Time Capsule and Wall of History at the Presidential Homecoming Tailgate on Feb. 23 at the University Center.
