| The mission of Northern
Virginia Community College is "to respond to the
educational needs of its dynamic and diverse constituencies
through an array of comprehensive programs and services
that facilitate learning and workforce development in
an environment of open access and through lifelong educational
opportunities."
The Communications
Technologies & Social Sciences Division attempts
to fulfill that mission within the applicable college
goals of
- providing a diverse, highly qualified, energetic,
and dynamic faculty and staff dedicated to and enhancing
student success;
- developing and acquiring adequate fiscal, capital,
and community resources and to using those resources
efficiently and effectively to provide the physical
environment and tools necessary to assure student
success; and
- providing an instructional program that is accessible,
affordable, and educationally sound and that supports
the needs of a diverse student body and enhances
student success.
The persons most responsible
for our success are our clients--our current students,
our potential students, our business associates, and
other administrative units. We as educators are here
to provide a quality product that meets the expectations
of our clients and that allows them to achieve their
desired goals, whether they want to transfer to a
university, gain employment skills, upgrade their
current skills, or just learn something new. We strive
to meet these goals by providing the highest quality
of instruction in credit programs, noncredit programs,
and student services; responding to changes in technology,
regional demographics, and educational needs; and
ensuring that individuals have the opportunity to
develop and enhance their skills, knowledge, and values.
