Nova Southeastern University President George L. Hanbury, on hand for the official inauguration of the college’s new regional campus in Puerto Rico, said Thursday among the institution’s goals is becoming a “gateway to Central and South America for education and the health sciences.”
Nearly two decades after first inserting itself into Puerto Rico’s pharmacy education setting through partnerships with local colleges, Nova Southeastern University will open the doors this month to its own stand-alone campus to further its mission of preparing professionals.
Sacred Heart University in Santurce has a new president, Gilberto Marxuach-Torrós, named by the institution’s trustees to succeed José Jaime Rivera, who announced his resignation in February after heading the Catholic college for more than two decades.
