Outreach

Northeastern State University will continue to play a major role in the higher education arena, while working together with educational and community partners to meet challenges, said Dr. Don Betz in his inaugural address on May 1, 2009. With new challenges facing the world in education, politics, economics, the environment, and numerous other areas that affect our lives daily, NSU will continue to partner for solutions and build upon the foundation of educational leadership established over the past century. We will strive to build sustainable communities, create global literacy and global engagement, and cultivate leadership in the next generation.
