It was time for celebration in the Spanish 102 class taught by Maria Nieto-Shahsavarian at NOVA's Reston Center.

NOVA Student Ira Dreyfuss completed a separate Rosetta Stone Spanish program online after two years. Wishing to share his happiness (in Spanish), he brought to class a cake iced with a photo of the Rosetta Stone login page - celebrating that he won't have to see it anymore.

CLEO – Training tomorrow’s lawyers, Preparing tomorrow’s leaders

NOVA Students #PRELAW Students 2017 - Seats are Limited!
WHAT: Free pre-law seminars
WHEN: Saturday, March 11, 2017
WHERE: American Washington College of Law, Washington, DC

www.cleoinc.org/

I was really motivated by [ASAP] on how to successfully apply for law school and tackle the LSAT. I loved the panel of current law students as well as the first-hand knowledge we received from members of the LSAC Board [and law school admission staff].

Super Tip!! Now is the time to get a Letter of Recommendation. After Thanksgiving ask your professor to write a brief letter that you can use for scholarships and internships.

Go to the Professor who knows your work best . . . weak letters are worse than no letter.

Questions . . . ask your advisor for help!

11/22/2016

Happy Thanksgiving! Remember that the college closes on Wednesday at 12 noon. We will reopen on Monday, November 28.
