President’s Circle

Celebrating academic excellence and the student’s potential for positive impact

National University President’s Circle

Each year National University celebrates a select group of President’s Circle students from among the graduating class. Graduating students are named to this prestigious group annually celebrating academic excellence and the student’s potential for positive impact.

The President’s Circle is an elite group of students from each of National University’s colleges:

  • Sanford College of Education
  • School of Arts, Letters, and Sciences
  • School of Health Professionals
  • JFK School of Psychology and Social Sciences
  • College of Law and Public Service
  • College of Business, Engineering and Technology

The students represent learning journeys and degree pathways from associate degrees through doctoral studies with each school and college represented.  Students may be nominated by faculty or staff. The final selection is made by the Dean of each school or college.

Students are selected based on Academic Excellence, Leadership Today and Tomorrow, Ability to Represent NU, Personal Character, Initiative and Potential for Impact, and other special circumstances.
