ATD Names NOVA Leader College
NOVA was recognized as a leader college in the national student completion movement by Achieving the Dream (ATD) for demonstrating sustained improvement and accomplishments on key student achievement indicators.
As a leader college, NOVA has shown three years of sustained improvement of student success on at least one of the following measures of performance: course completion, advancement from remedial to credit courses, completion of college-level math and English courses, term-to-term and year-to-year retention, and completion of certificates or degrees.
Additionally, the College has successfully implemented at least one student success intervention or initiative that is advancing student outcomes that are of sufficient scale to benefit a substantial proportion of students.
Achieving the Dream is a multiyear national initiative to help more community college students succeed, particularly student groups that traditionally have faced significant barriers to success.
Virginia Sen. Mark Warner wrote a congratulatory letter that commended the College for our “commitment in educating our students, inspiring, and creating an environment where students are engaged in their studies and encouraged to learn.”
