FT. LAUDERDALE-DAVIE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern University (NSU) announced today the naming of its 366,000 square-foot University Center in honor of businessman, entrepreneur and philanthropist Don Taft in recognition of a gift from The Taft Foundation. NSU President Ray Ferrero Jr., J.D., made the announcement during homecoming ceremonies Wednesday evening.
"We are deeply gratified that the Taft Foundation has honored NSU with this gift. Don Taft joins a number of distinguished citizens, philanthropists and organizations who all share a common belief in NSU," Ferrero said.
"I am thrilled to have my name associated with such an outstanding university. I am pleased and proud that the Foundation's gift will also be used to benefit an organization I hold dear, the Special Olympics Broward County," Taft said.
"On behalf of our Special Olympic athletes, we are honored that the Taft Foundation has helped our dreams come true in building a permanent home for our athletes. This extraordinary gift will provide our athletes with resources that will enable them to be the very best they can be," said Paul Sallarulo, chairman of Special Olympics Broward County and member of the NSU Board of Trustees. We look forward to a great partnership.
SOBC moved into our new office space on August 18, 2009. We are located in the Sonken East/Annex building. We have an office suite and a small conference room. We are looking forward to working with the staff and students at Nova SE University and The University School.
