Abraham S. Fischler joined NSU in 1966 as a professor in education and was later named president emeritus in 2005, serving on numerous community, education, and other boards, including the Broward Education Foundation. Recognizing that the educational system was failing about one-third of the American population, Fischler promoted drastic changes in the way students learn. He began the Abraham S. Fischler College of Education to fill the need for a curriculum that would be tailored to the student's individual needs. During his 12-year tenure as president of NSU, Dr. Fischler strove to constantly push the boundaries of traditional education methods and succeeded in centering the University around the needs of its students. Dr. Fischler continued to advocate for change and evolution in the American school system until his passing on April 3, 2017, at the age of 89.
