September 8, 2020 / Our Nighthawks

NOVA Day is a yearly celebration for the NOVA Community to kick off the semester together. We know things are different this semester, but Student Life still wants you to have a chance to take a breather, have some fun and connect with each other. Throughout the day we have some awesome, free virtual events scheduled. 

  • Intention Bracelets. 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Students who attend will work with an artist to send in a word to to be created into an Intention Bracelet. At the end of the 2-hour event, Jess and her team will create the student bracelets and designs using the words they texted in, and those bracelets will be mailed directly to their off-campus addresses collected during the pre-event registration.
