Each of the NOVA Campus and Center home pages received a layout makeover.
AL Campus / AN Campus / LO Campus /MA Campus /MEC Campus /WO Campus
The home pages used to be divided into three sections with an intro, On Campus links and Learn More links. Now on each welcome section you'll find four buttons taking you to key information like Academic Divisions, Campus Resources, Contacts & Hours and Maps & Directions. The campus-specific boxed areas below include an Important Information section with links to essential information; an Upcoming Events section with dates and details for what’s happening at that campus; a Contact Us box with the campus street address and phone number and an Inside (campus name) featuring mini photos, blurbs and links to the Provost’s Welcome, Emergency Preparedness and more! 
The new Classified Handbook 2011-2012 edition is on the NOVA website. You can download it or view the online zmags version.
Human Resources has revised and updated the overall content and look of the Classified Employee Handbook. A detailed Table of Contents guides you quickly to the appropriate section and page(s); the handbook also includes an Index and Appendix D Contact Websites gives you links to a wide range of relevant outside agencies and resources. They also incorporated Web links throughout the handbook for easy access to information.
Human Resources will update the handbook on a yearly basis and if warranted, after the July 1 Commonwealth of Virginia legislative changes go into effect.
The hard work of the WSDM team seems to be paying off...
