Save the Date: NOVA’s Fall Convocation, August 16

The new academic year is fast approaching, and our annual fall convocation is on the horizon. We’re excited to share that NOVA’s College-wide Convocation will be held from 9 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 16. Faculty and staff may attend in person at the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center on NOVA’s Alexandria Campus (AS) or participate in campus watch parties. Brault and Pender staff will participate at Schlesinger.

This year’s theme is “Sense of Belonging.” The morning will feature a keynote address by Dr. Terrell Strayhorn; faculty, staff and student panels; and discussion of the strategic goals for NOVA’s new strategic plan, Inspiring Excellence: A Bold Blueprint for Student Success.

All NOVA offices will be closed on August 16  from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. to allow all faculty and staff to participate. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for registered guests at both the Schlesinger location and at the watch parties. Please register for convocation by Friday, July 28, at 5 p.m.  For registration, news and updates, please visit the Convocation webpage and look for our special edition “Countdown to Convocation” section in the Daily Flyer.
