October student opportunities

Busy time for talented students!  Here are some exciting opportunities for students in October… get your calendar out and set aside time for events including: financial literacy, learning about opportunities (some potentially free) to study in Germany, and also opportunities for study at Virginia Commonwealth University.

October 1, Monday, at NVCC Alexandria campus, in the AM, with a break around lunch and through the PM, a full day of financial literacy basics.  From building a business to international student banking.  Drop by Bisdorf AA-158 to learn more.  Brought to you by the Financial Aid office.

On October 12, Thursday, in the afternoon (from 12:45-4pm), the Goethe Institute in Washington DC (easy Metro access, near “Gallery Place/Chinatown”), hosts “Career Booster Germany”.  Drop by and learn about opportunities for study in Germany for college students.  There are many graduate-level programs that seek American students and some are even fully funded by the German government.  The 12:45 arrival time includes lunch provided for students; though free, registration is required.  List of all events at: https://www.goethe.de/ins/us/en/sta/wsh/ver.cfm

Finally, investigate options for further study at Virginia Commonwealth Univ. at an informational seminar held at NVCC-Alexandra, in the AFA Room 118 on October 10, Wednesday, from 1-2pm.

Students, definitely keep me posted if you plan on attending any/all of these!
