Eleven Days and Counting...
The idea of the NSU Student Foundation (NSUSF) road trip has been ratteling around in our heads and conversations since early spring. We finally got approval and funding for the road trip Friday, June 5th. Since that time it has been a whirlwind of planning and excitement.
The CASE ASAP Conference booked, Indiana University Center for Philanthropy visit finalized, hotel rooms booked, Belmont University residence hall usage scheduled, personal friends offering to allow us to stay in their homes, Georgia Tech Student Foundation visit finalized, Love Bottling donating energy drinks and sodas for the trip, so many great alumni working with us to select and schedule a location in their city to host a NSU alumni reception, and so much more.
Each day I get more and more excited about the road trip, and the enormous impact these events will have not only on the university but the students that have invested their time and energy to making the NSUSF a student philanthropy centered organization.
These students, locally and in California working summer jobs, are giving their limited free time between classes, work, and studies, to help make this trip a success.
This road trip is not a vacation for the students, but co-curricular activity that will give them up-front and personal experiences with NSU alumni. They will engage our alumni in a way that will enhance their interpersonal communication skills, presentation skills, planning and time management skills, AND on top of it all allow them to build lasting bonds with each other and other NSU alumni across the country.
These experiences that will have a lasting impact on their lives; stories they will have to tell others about NSU and the 'community' that had such a profound impact on their development and growth as future leaders, mentors, and models for the next generation of NSU alumni.
I am so excited to be a part of the beginning of this amazing dream that has become the NSU Student Foundation. As NSU moves into the next 100 years the NSUSF will be vital component to charting NSU's second century. - Penny L Moore
