EMSS Has a New Name and Other Updates
It is with sincere gratitude that we thank all NOVA community members who participated in our recent Division Name Survey. Poll results are in, with a winner 47% ahead of the competition. We are proud to announce our division’s new name is Student Affairs. We embrace our new name, which will be effective as of September 11, 2023.
In addition to this exciting update, within our division, we are updating three other unit names to better align with the services offered:
- The College Call Center will now be known as the College Information Center. The new name better aligns with the operations of the department. The College Information Center is the information hub for all NOVA campuses and centers averaging over 175,000 inquiries per year. The College Information Center provides timely and accurate educational information by telephone, live chat online and email. The center responds to and assists with a variety of inquiries. It serves as a point of contact for students, parents, staff, faculty and the community. You can learn more by visiting the College Information Center webpage.
- The Enrollment Services office name has changed to Enrollment Success. This name more closely aligns with the department’s purpose in terms of contributing to the outcome of the enrollment experience that will feed into NOVA’s Strategic Plan priority areas of access, retention, completion, transfer and ultimately how enrollment at NOVA will lead to successful employment opportunities.
- Esports club has moved to Student Life and remains under Recreation and Intramural Sports.
Student Affairs looks forward to a new academic year, revitalized with new energy that our updated name and brand provides. We are eager to continue our dynamic work across the College and serving our students as they move toward success.
