Join your colleagues Tuesday, August 8th, from 4-8pm for A Night of Belonging with Dr. Terrell Strayhorn. This event will be held on the Woodbridge Campus in the Workforce Development Center (WRC). Light refreshments will be joyfully provided.

Dr. Terrell Strayhorn is Professor of Higher Education and Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies at Illinois State University. Author of over 11 books, Dr. Strayhorn’s research examines college students’ sense of belonging, especially how belonging differs based on students’ social identities, such as race, gender, or sexual orientation, or the conditions they encounter on campus.

Open to all NOVA employees and area high school instructors, attendees will enjoy a keynote on how to develop students’ Sense of Belonging. Following the keynote, participants will transition into an interactive workshop focused on aligning goals for teaching writing in the high school and at NOVA. While Dr. Strayhorn will focus on writing intensive classes, all faculty are welcome to attend. 

The deadline to register is 5 p.m. Friday, July 21. Those interested can register here.
