New Release: Budget episode of NOVAinContext podcast featuring VP John Ferrari
The third episode of our NOVAinContext podcast released today, April 1. Join us for a discussion on the ins and outs of NOVA’s budget.
What’s it about? Because NOVA is a state agency and also part of a larger system of community colleges, there are always questions about the college’s budget. Where do funds come from? Who determines how they are spent? How is budget oversite managed? Find the episode on our NOVAinContext page on NOVAnet. Listen to the Budget episode!
Who’s in? This episode features our co-hosts, Nate Carter and Lucy Williams, along with NOVA’s Vice President of Finance and Administration John Ferrari.
John Ferrari came to NOVA in January 2023. Previously, he was chief financial officer of a cybersecurity startup in Northern Virginia for five years. From 1987-2019, he served in the United States Army.
Over his 32-year U.S. Army career, Major General Ferrari served as the director of program analysis and evaluation, commanding general of the White Sands Missile Range, a deputy commander for programs at the NATO Training Mission in Afghanistan and as a strategic planner for Combined Joint Task Force Seven in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
What’s next? A new episode of NOVAinContext will drop every two weeks during fall and spring semesters. Join us for this opportunity for faculty and staff to learn the how, what and why behind the college decisions and initiatives that affect them.
