NOVA’s Fall Convocation Is Coming! August 16
The new academic year will be here before you know it, and Convocation, our annual kick-off to the new school year, is right around the corner! NOVA’s College-wide Convocation will be held from 9 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 16, at the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center on NOVA’s Alexandria Campus (AS). Faculty and staff may attend in person or participate in campus watch parties. Brault and Pender staff will participate onsite at Schlesinger.
This year’s theme is “Sense of Belonging.” The morning will feature a keynote address by Dr. Terrell Strayhorn. There will also be faculty, staff and student panels and a 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 in convocation. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for registered guests at both the Schlesinger location and at the watch parties.
