HalloQueen drag show
During the fall 2021 semester, Nova Southeastern University had a HalloQueen Drag Show that took place in the Miniachi Theater on campus. The show consisted of several different drag queens doing lip sync performances while interacting with members of the audience. Following the many performances was a question and answer session for students to ask the queens about their different experiences as members of the LGBTQ+ community. Lastly there was a photobooth outside where students took pictures with their favorite queens. The event was put on by the office of diversity and inclusion.
Sharkaplooza
To kick the fall semester off, Nova Southeastern University hosted their annual Sharkaplooza event. This event was online during the 2020 academic year, so for some students this was their first time experiencing it. The event was hosted on a large field on campus where over a hundred students set up tables to represent their student organizations so that others could learn more about them and potentially sign up. The event also had many live performances including several of NSU’s dance teams and Greek Life Strolls. Students were encouraged to walk around to each table in order to find different clubs they may be interested in.
“Anything That Floats” annual raft race
Nova Southeastern University held its annual raft race last November after having to skip the tradition last year due to the pandemic. Students came together with a $200 budget to build rafts and race them in Gold Circle Lake for the chance to win prize money for their clubs on campus. The first place prize was $3000, second place $2000, and third place $1000. Two razors edge leadership students placed along with the office of student media. The President George Hanbury, among many other students and staff were in attendance cheering teams on.
Homecoming week
Homecoming 2021 was one like no other. Nova Southeastern University hosted their annual homecoming dance on a yacht. The four story boat offered a formal dining room where students had dinner as well as a roof top dance floor where refreshments were severed. The boat also featured a cash bar for those who were over 21. Another event was the Sunday brunch held in the flight deck backyard. This event featured a brunch picnic set up with chicken and waffles as well as tacos. The brunch was accompanied by a live violinist and an ice-cream food truck providing dessert.
