Old-timers will tell you: there’s a specific energy that new members bring. It’s called the NOVA Glow—that mix of excitement, wide-eyed wonder, and zero cynicism. Don’t lose it. It’s contagious.
It is important to note that "Nova" also refers to Nova Southeastern University in Florida, a major private research institution known for its health sciences and business programs. While the term "Erstie" is less common there (they typically use "Freshmen"), the first-year journey at NSU focuses on community engagement and professional research opportunities in the Miami area.
