Each year for the past three years, NOVA has teamed up with Home Instead Senior Care to bring warmth and joy to financially challenged and lonely seniors in the Prince William County area. Students, faculty and staff participate by stopping by the Christmas tree at the Howsman Building or the wreath at Innovation Park at the Manassas campus, picking up an ornament with a preferred gift listed by a senior, purchase the gift, and then returning it to the Provost’s office of the campus.

Are you connected to NOVA? NOVA wants to make sure students are informed about the latest news and events happening all around the college through the official NOVA social media sites: NOVAaccess on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Drawing dealers from across the region, artists from all over the industry and collectors from across the continent, the event itself was a mixture of sales, fans and education.
