Professional Faculty Nominations Needed for Appointment Advisory Committee

NOVA needs professional faculty volunteers to nominate themselves to serve on the Ad Hoc Appointment Advisory Committee for this Academic Year. Professional faculty means counselors and librarians. We are looking for one person to fill the open spot. You will play a role in determining if colleagues will receive multi-year appointments at NOVA. This is an important role, and we would greatly appreciate your help. If more than one person is nominated, we will have a College-wide election soon after. The nomination process ends on Monday, Oct. 16 at 5 p.m. In our last call for nominations, we did not receive a qualified applicant.

To volunteer for this committee, you should be a full-time professional faculty

• who is in a three- or five-year appointment AND
• who is NOT under review for a three- or five-year appointment AND
• who is willing to commit to this process between Nov 1 and Jan 31.

The work of the committee will occur primarily between November 15, 2023 and January 10, 2024 but may extend to January 31, 2024. The College is on holiday from December 25, 2023 through January 2, 2024, during which time the committee will not meet.  

This will be a very hard-working committee. According to VCCS policy, every faculty member who is eligible for a three- or five-year appointment must have their information reviewed by this committee after evaluation by the supervising dean.
