Davie, FL-based Nova Southeastern University has Appointed Tom West as Chief Information Officer
At Nova Southeastern University, our approach to education has always been innovative and unique. We don`t fit easily within the standard niche – because neither do you. We are traditional, but we`re also young, bold and forward thinking. Our private, undergraduate college offers a personal, nurturing atmosphere, but we`re also an exciting university with a wide variety of graduate and professional degrees. Established in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1964 as a small college with some revolutionary ideas, NSU was originally named Nova University of Advanced Technology and chartered as a graduate institution in the physical and social sciences. In 1994, Nova University merged with Southeastern University of Health Sciences to form Nova Southeastern University. Today, NSU is a not-for-profit, independent university that is classified as a research university with “high research activity” by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and is one of only 37 universities nationwide to also be awarded Carnegie`s Community Engagement Classification. We have approximately 26,000 students, 170,000 alumni, a sprawling, 314-acre Fort Lauderdale-Davie campus and a presence throughout Florida, the U.S. and nine countries around the world. Through five decades of explosive growth, our reputation for academic excellence and innovation continues to flourish. NSU offers a vast number of undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees through our 16 colleges in the fields of Business, Dental Medicine, Education, Engineering and Computing, Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Optometry, Pharmacy, Psychology, and Natural Sciences and Oceanography.
Tom West joins NSU from Health Choice Network in Miami where he was chief technology officer for this leading provider of enterprise information technology services to hospitals and clinics.
