NORTHERN VIRGINIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Annandale Campus

Lisa R. O'Quinn, Ed.D.
Credit Program Developer

I develop partnerships between Northern Virginia Community College and federal, state and county agencies, non profits and businesses in the DC metropolitan region.

 A Partner with the Business Community

When you picture Northern Virginia Community College you might think of the ways we serve Northern Virginia area through our associate degree and certificate programs and non-credit continuing education courses. I work with companies to determine how NOVA can meet their educational and training needs. We can offer any class on site including foreign languages, ASL, English, information systems technology  skills, and other professional development areas such as business management, administrative support technology, computer science, communications and marketing. 

We are currently engaged in partnerships with several government agencies and private corporations.  We can offer any number or combination of courses, degrees or certificates at corporate locations in convenient six, eight, twelve or sixteen week formats.

If your company wants to offer training or credit courses please contact me via phone at 703-323-3164 or via email at loquinn@nvcc.edu
