NOVA is pleased to continue its tradition of recognizing graduating active duty military and veteran students. Red, white and blue honor cords are available for graduating active duty, guard/reserve or veteran students who want to wear them during the Commencement Ceremony on May 19. The cords represent appreciation for our military and veteran community for their distinguished service and sacrifice. Eligible students who are interested in wearing a cord can pick one up at any campus VA Office May 1 through 17. If you have questions, please contact the Military Services Office at militaryservices@nvcc.edu or 703.293.8132.
