Celebrating You and Your Educational Accomplishments!
Today’s topic is celebrating your degree completion.
One of the anonymous questions submitted last spring asked if NOVA could do more to recognize the achievements of our staff and faculty who complete their own degrees while supporting our students and balancing responsibilities at home and work. In response, during that month’s zoom, I thanked the individual who submitted the question and said to “stay tuned.”
The success of our colleagues in pursuing their degrees is definitely boldly NOVA and well worthy of commendation. Beginning this year, NOVA will celebrate your outstanding academic accomplishment annually by sharing an announcement of your degrees with the college community via the Daily Flyer in December and May, and with our Board Members at their May meeting. (I’ve also got a couple surprises in store, but I’ll keep those under my hat for now.)
This first year, I’ll do a look back to when I joined NOVA in January 2020. So, if you completed (or will complete) your degree—associate through doctorate—between January 2020 and June 2025, please send an email to presidentsoffice@nvcc.edu with the following information:
- Your name as shown on your degree(s)
- Degree(s) earned
- Year(s) earned
- College/university conferring the degree(s)
You can send me this information at any time through April 30, 2025 (I will post periodic reminders in the Daily Flyer).
I look forward to honoring your “stop at nothing” journeys and hard-earned degrees!
Kindest regards, Anne
