What: Screening of Anonymous People and Panel Discussion
Date: Wednesday, 10 September 2014
Time: 4:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Where: Bisdorf Building | AA-196
In recognition of National Recovery Month the NOVA Student Chapter of VAAP, and the Women’s Center is proud to present The Anonymous People, a feature documentary film about the 23 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. Deeply entrenched social stigma and discrimination have kept recovery voices silent and faces hidden for decades . . . UNTIL NOW. Just like women with breast cancer, or people with HIV/AIDS, courageous addiction recovery advocates have begun to step out of the shadows to fuel a passionate new public recovery movement that will transform public perception, and ultimately the response to the addiction crisis.
Included in the free event are a panel discussion, a casual meal, and an opportunity to become a member of the Virginia Association of Addiction Professionals (VAAP), the state affiliate of NAADAC – The Association for Addiction Professionals at a discounted rate. 1.5 CE credits will also be available.

Date: Wednesday, 10 September 2014

Mathematics
Mathematicians have long noted that Mozart may have used Fibonacci Numbers. He was always playing with numbers and even scribbled mathematical equations for probabilities in the margins of some compositions.
Psychology
The “Mozart effect” refers to claims that people perform better on tests of spatial abilities after listening to music composed by Mozart. Studies show that the Mozart effect may be a consequence of between-condition differences in arousal and mood.
Cinema and Theater
How historically accurate was Milos Foreman’s 1984 award-winning movie? The original play by Peter Schaffer was first performed in 1979. The play was inspired by a short 1830 play by Alexander Pushkin called “Mozart and Salieri.”
Science and Medicine
The 2012 Mozart & Science Conference took an in-depth look at the enthralling question of how music affects human health and wellbeing. Research into music therapy takes place at the intersection of medicine, art and interpersonal relationships.
Literature and History
The “Mozart Question” by award-winning children’s author Michael Morpurgo. The story which takes place in Nazi Germany, explores how something so sublime as Mozart’s music can be used for evil purposes.
This could be the first that some NOVA students have been to a concert of classical music. It is likely to be the first time NOVA students have seen their peers perform classical music. Mozart’s music is wonderful!
This concert is FREE
for NOVA students, faculty and staff with a NOVA ID.

The Alexandria Campus will be hosting an Internship Fair in October coordinated by Amira Al-Khulaidy, Linda Rodriguez and Marc Henderson. Our goal is to find internship opportunities for our students that have proved academic success and enthusiasm to grow. We have been in touch with a number of non-profits, businesses, non-governmental and governmental agencies to ask that they send a representative to share information about the internship opportunities that exist within their organization. We will be sending out a list of confirmed representatives at some point in September.
Also to prepare students for this fair, we will be coordinating with the Writing Center to make sure that a Resume and Cover Letter Workshop in offered in September as well.
