Information was shared with all media in those markets, with many including the closing and reopening in their storm coverage

Vaccine Announcement / VaxMax

Due to a new Florida law, NSU was unable to maintain its original policy toward full vaccination by August 1, 2021. NSU has since transitioned to its VaxMax Program, which has a goal of having 70%-80% of students self-report they are fully vaccinated (they are not mandated to receive the vaccine.) The stories below reflect these new developments:
