The Celebration
To celebrate the 40th anniversary, NSM held a gala honoring 12 distinguished alumni who have excelled in their fields and brought great accolades to the College. The Legacy Award was also presented to Dr. Carolyn Farb.
The Cause – NSM Student Learning Commons
NSM currently has the fourth largest enrollment at UH, yet we do not have a central hub where our students can study, collaborate on projects or attend seminars and tutorials. Dean Dan E. Wells is committed to providing our students with a place to call home.
Funds raised during the 40th Anniversary Gala will be used to partially fund the construction and furnishing of this unique space for our students.
