become a multi-generational tradition.

annual reports from the NSU Foundation on the financial status of their
endowment fund as requested.

Endowed professorships help ensure
that the University can attract and retain

members who are awarded such professorships. Professorships are very prestigious,
and the faculty member who receives such distinction carries the name of
the donor.
