Message from the Dean
Dear Students,
Congratulations to our 2009 graduates! The 2009 NSU Undergraduate Commencement Exercises on May 9, and the annual Baccalaureate Reception held the night before, were great celebrations of the success and achievements of the NSU Class of 2009. Six-hundred-and-fifteen students participated in commencement at the BankAtlantic Center and, pending degree conferral, are well on their way to earning the status of NSU alumni. More than 1,000 people attended the Baccalaureate Reception and nearly 6,000 people attended the commencement ceremony.
Graduating from college is a major accomplishment, yet it is one of several steps in your path to a successful future. As current students and alumni, you will encounter opportunities to build on your strengths, skills, and knowledge you acquire as a student. Our university alumni are part of a global group more than 100,000 persons strong. Along with faculty and staff, think of this as your professional network! Graduates, I wish you the best in all that you do, and remember to keep in touch with the college and NSU.
I hope everyone enjoys the summer. Make the most of these upcoming months.
Sincerely,
Don Rosenblum, Ph.D.
Dean, Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences
Quadrivium
The college is pleased to announce the launch of Quadrivium, a new online
journal of multidisciplinary scholarship. The term “quadrivium” describes the four arts and sciences studied by university students in the Middle Ages. The college has its own “quadrivium” made up of its four divisions—Social and Behavioral Sciences; Humanities; Math, Science, and Technology; and Performing and Visual Arts.
Quadrivium seeks to bring together the faculty and graduate students of these four divisions to showcase the critical and creative work they do as scholars and teachers.
In addition to featuring the research and scholarship of more than a dozen of the college’s faculty members, Quadrivium’s digital format allows readers to literally see—and in some cases, hear—the work referenced throughout the various articles. Photos, paintings, charts, and audio clips all enhance the collection and make Quadrivium a truly interactive experience for readers.
The premiere issue of Quadrivium is now available online and makes for great summer reading!
Farquhar Forum
The winter 2009 issue of the Farquhar Forum has published. The latest issue features a cover story on NSU alumnus Somy Ali, who
is the founder and president of her own clothing line, So-Me Designs, whose colorful T-shirt fashions make statements about everything from religious tolerance to world peace.
The Forum also includes spotlights on faculty and student research and scholarship. Gary Gershman, J.D., Ph.D., associate professor in the college's Division of Humanities, speaks about spending time as a student again in a fellowship at the Holocaust Education Foundation and how that affects his teaching of the Holocaust at NSU. Biology major Carlos Haderspock reflects upon how a life-changing summer internship in Austria sparked a determination to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor and finding ways to help others.
All this and more is captured in the pages of the Farquhar Forum's winter 2009 issue. Hot off the presses!
