Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad College of Law – Leo Goodwin Sr. Residence Hall

The late Leo Goodwin Sr. was a large donor to Nova Southeastern University (NSU) and is considered one of its primary founders. He left a $16 million bequest to the university which funded its expansion throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The building that contains the university’s law school, Shepard Broad Law Center, is housed in Leo Goodwin Sr. Hall located on Nova’s main campus. In addition, one of the dorms is named the Leo Goodwin Sr. Residence Hall. Leo Goodwin was a generous entrepreneur and visionary committed to the advancement of education and research. After Leo Goodwin Sr.’s death, The Leo Goodwin Foundation continued with his community-minded attitude on many levels, including sponsoring scholarships through Nova.

The Leo Goodwin Sr. Chair in Law was established at Shepard Broad Law Center with an initial gift from Leo Goodwin Sr. The Goodwin Chair allows the Law Center to invite distinguished legal scholars to spend time in residence, to team-teach a seminar with a member of the Law Center faculty, and to interact with the Law Center faculty, students, and alumni.
