NOVA to Reopen Today, March 30

The following communication was sent by President Kress to the College community following the campus closures on Tuesday due to bomb threats.

Dear NOVA Community,

Our Police Department has inspected NOVA’s campuses and worked with state and federal agencies to review the bomb threats we received today. The determination is that these threats were not credible. As a result, all NOVA campuses will reopen March 30.

NOVA Police continue to work with state and federal agencies to investigate and monitor the situation. I know you join me in thanking them for their dedication and expertise.

Please know that NOVA will always take immediate action if it faces a credible threat. Your safety is our priority.

The anonymous bomb threats against NOVA and colleges across the country are antithetical to the ideals and values that we hold dear and that drive our mission. I know our community stands strong and am grateful to you for your care and concern for each other and our college.

Your health and well-being in these stressful times are my top concern. As a reminder, if you need assistance or support, please reach out to the Office of Wellness and Mental Health. Students can also receive support through TimelyCare.

I look forward to seeing many of you this week on my campus visits and thank you, always, for your dedication to NOVA.

Sincerely,

Anne
