Mandel Grant at NOVA
The Mandel Grant at NOVA is a three-year initiative designed to establish a Humanities to Career Program. This initiative aims to integrate career-readiness skills into the Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (LASS) curriculum by offering professional skills training, work-based learning experiences, and career navigation support. The goal is to improve graduation and career outcomes for LASS majors and increase the number of students declaring humanities and social science majors.
As a recipient of the multi-year grant sponsored by the Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Foundation, we are enhancing humanities and liberal arts (HLA) pathways with intentional career-based programming, which includes resources for regional employers to engage with NOVA faculty and learn more about the micro-credentialing program.
