Meet NVCC CEO Lisa Dresdner, Ph.D.,
“NVCC is a vibrant, diverse, and caring community of faculty, staff, and students. Here, you’ll meet people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures -- last count we had students representing over 50 countries! Over 31% of our students are Hispanic, and NVCC was designated as an Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in 2015. Such diversity in perspectives, experiences, and abilities contributes to the rich fabric of culture at NVCC and allows us to achieve our Mission and Vision.”
