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. "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 SpeciialOlympics 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.
