While the COVID-19 pandemic has brought many changes to NSU in the last year, it hasn’t changed the sense of community students can find on campus. One great way to show off your Shark pride and connect with your fellow Sharks is to participate in NSU’s traditions. Continue reading below for a taste of student life at NSU.
Admission videos
NSU prides itself on its tight-knit community of engaged students and incredible faculty and staff. Another one of the ways NSU expands this community is through personalized admission videos. Every college and university has a way of welcoming their admitted students, but NSU goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels like an important part of the NSU Shark family. NSU’s on-campus TV station, SUTV, works throughout the year to make each admitted student a personalized video to celebrate their admission to NSU. The videos are one of the many traditions to help new students feel like a part of the Shark family.
Fins up
Nothing says Shark pride like an NSU fins up. Whether you’re a returner who cringes every time you hear the words or a new student who jumps at every opportunity to put your fins in the air, fins up is a tradition that allows students to connect with each other. Next time you hear someone yell “fins up,” put your hands in the air and get ready to be a part of a unique NSU tradition.
S.E.A. Thursday
When you walk through the UC on a Thursday afternoon, chances are you’ll see rows of tables showing off NSU students organizations. This NSU tradition is known as S.E.A. Thursdays and happens on the first and third Thursday of the month in the UC Spine from 12:30-1:30 p.m. It is a great way for student organizations and clubs on campus to connect with and recruit students. Whether you are looking for something exciting to get involved in or just want to stop by and chat with your fellow Sharks (socially distanced, of course), make sure to take advantage of this unique and exciting tradition.
Read the orientation issue of The Current
If you are reading this, then congratulations. You have now been an important part of a special NSU tradition. The Current staff, practicum and contributing writers work hard all year to provide relevant and interesting news and entertainment to NSU’s student population, but the orientation issue is a special issue that allows students to reflect, become informed and get pumped for the new semester. Most importantly, The Current would love to hear from you. Whether you have some feedback or are interested in writing an article for the paper, don’t hesitate to reach out and make The Current part of your own NSU experience.
