NSU Announces 2016 Centurions

(Tahlequah, Okla.)-- An NSU Centurion is an individual whose leadership and commitment, in the course of helping others, has made a significant impact during the universitys history. The honors are given to NSU alumni, faculty, staff, students, or any member of the NSU community whether past or present who impacted the life of the nominator, the Northeastern community, or the public at large. A Centurion can be living or deceased and should embody the legacy and spirit of Northeastern State University.
