NOVA’s Fall Convocation Is Coming! Wednesday, August 16

The new academic year begins next week, and faculty and staff have the opportunity to kick off the new school year right with Convocation!

NOVA’s College-wide Convocation will be held this Wednesday, from 9 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. 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. To learn more about this exciting annual kick-off event, visit the Convocation webpage. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
