We understand that areas of South Florida are still severely impacted by this unprecedented rain event. If you are in an area that is still affected by flood waters and you cannot make it to campus for class or work, please be careful – contact your professor, program director or supervisor and let them know you are unable to make it in. We want everyone to use their best judgement and stay safe.

 

In addition, we are starting to receive reports that members of the NSU family have been negatively impacted by this unprecedented storm – losing their car, home or both. As a way for Sharks to help Sharks, the university established the NSU Cares Fund.

This fund helps students and employees who are most in need of assistance. Please consider donating or volunteering your time to help impacted individuals return to a sense of normalcy, in these most difficult times.

DONATE HERE or by texting NSUCARES to 41444.

To request assistance from NSU Cares, please complete the NSU Cares form and email it to nsucares@nova.edu.

If you have already helped, thank you. You are SharkNation! Your generosity is greatly appreciated by those in need.

As the situation changes and the water recedes, we will provide additional UPDATES as necessary.

 

Thank you – and be safe.
