NOVA's Commitment to Seeing and Celebrating You

Come as you are. | Become who you want to be. | That is our promise.

The Office of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion is committed to advancing inclusive excellence. NOVA prioritizes the well-being and success of all NOVA students, faculty, staff, and community members.

The Office of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion partners with all of us—all facets of NOVA—to protect and strengthen the power of a community that embraces different ideas, identities, values, beliefs, intersectionalities, ages, abilities, and perspectives.

Why? Advancing equity aligns with the College's Mission and Strategic Plan, but even better, a safe, inclusive and accepting college community really is a springboard to opportunity. It just is.
