Academic Skills Workshops for Spring 2016

Posted on by

Every Tuesday and Wednesday at 12:00 pm in AA-229

Last semester, many students told us that they would have loved to attend some of our workshops, but that they had class on Wednesdays at noon. To address those kinds of scheduling conflicts, we have decided to offer each workshop twice during the spring semester.

Workshops are free to all NOVA students. No registration is necessary; just drop by. There will be snacks! A description of all the workshops can be found at this link: Spring 2016 Brown Bag Series.

Contact Gwen McCrea at 703-575-4708 or gmccrea@nvcc.edu for more information.
