President's Ambassadors Network (PAN)

The President's Ambassadors Network (PAN) is an initiative established by NSU President Steve Turner in 2013 to support professional development opportunities for NSU faculty and staff and discretionary projects. Faculty and staff can submit applications for a grant from the fund and will be screened and selected by a committee made up of the current recipients of Circle of Excellence, Model the Way and STAR Awards. Recipients of grants from the President's Ambassador Network may also serve on the selection committee in the future.

Applicants: Applications should reflect activities occurring between May 1, 2025 and April 30, 2026 for which funds are not otherwise available at the university. Applications may include, but are not limited to, bringing in an outside speaker, doctoral candidates presenting their dissertation research at a professional conference, faculty or staff presenting at a professional conference relating to their discipline, and/or other professional development opportunities in the best interest of the university. All university rules for funding of expenses still apply (per diem, mileage rate, etc.).
