NOVA Foundation and Office of DEI Announce 2023 DEI Innovation Projects!

NOVA’s Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, in partnership with the NOVA Educational Foundation is pleased to share the recipients of the 2023 DEI Innovation Grant!

The DEI Innovation Grant provides support in 2023 to complete educational and innovative projects that help extend the college’s commitment to inclusive excellence and help students, faculty and staff deepen their understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion, inside and outside the classroom.
