Welcome to Nova Southeastern University located in sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
My name is Liz and I'm a theater, marine bio, and legal studies major.
I'm Mike, majoring in criminal justice.
Welcome to NSU.
It will take just a minute to tell you able Razor's Edge, and our university.
I'm Ted, majoring in business and legal studies.We're excited to share with you today a small glimpse of our NSU experience.
As leaders, you are all going to face challenges. The true test of character, however, is how you respond to those challenges.
This is quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, truly a leader who faced many challenges.
The quote simply reads,
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
So what is Razor's Edge?
Razor's Edge is a curricular and co- curricular basic leadership program,
where students will earn 16 academic credits that will earn them a certificate in leadership by the time they complete their under graduate degree.
There will be some required courses as well as several options for electives.
The point is to take what you learn in the classroom and apply it to your leadership roles on campus.
Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech lasted only eight minutes.
So here is your next challenge.
On the card provided you've been asked to deliver an eight minute speech that will change the world.
Write the first line.
Oh yeah, we named the program after our mascot, Razor the Shark.
Razor's Edge participants are expected to be leaders on campus from the very beginning.
That's why we're looking for students that have the talents, skills, and character to be the movers and shakers on campus.
That's right. Razor's Edge participants will live on campus all four years,
we lead student organizations, and will take on other significant campus-wide leadership roles.
Everyone please take a seat and let's get this meeting started.
In our meeting last week we discussed on how to build campus unity.
In this week's meeting let's please continue the discussion on how to build shark pride.
See? This is a lot about you, but mostly doing great things with and for the people. Isn't that what great leaders do?
So what do you think? Are you ready for a college experience you'll never forget?
If so, don't wait and apply to our program online at our website. But don't wait too long
because only 50 students are allowed into the Razor's Edge program every year and admission is very competitive.
You may not know a lot about NSU but we're one of the largest independent universities in the country.
