Welcome to the Fall Semester
Greetings!
I would like to welcome you to Napa Valley College where the faculty and staff have created a warm and welcoming learning environment. Because of its dedicated faculty and staff, the Napa Valley College name carries respect, connotes excellence and the clear recognition that students are our priority.
We understand you may have questions, and I encourage you to seek help from our dedicated staff in the offices of Admissions and Records, Financial Aid, Counseling, and other college offices, or speak to a counselor. We are here to assist you and to make your transition to Napa Valley College a hassle-free and satisfying experience. Become involved—participate and attend the many extracurricular happenings that will enhance your learning.
Beautiful new instructional buildings have been completed over recent semesters as a result of the community’s support for Measure N, including the McCarthy Library, North Gym, Ceramics Studio, and the Life Sciences Building. The new Performing Arts Center will open for fall classes. With the upcoming reconfiguration of student services and administrative offices, a “one-stop shop” will bring together services for the convenience of students. In addition, a new partnership initiative at the American Canyon High School will enable students in that part of the county to enroll in college evening classes close to home.
On a personal note, I am new to Napa Valley College, beginning my tenure as president in August, 2010. I am honored to be your president and to join your community. I know you will find the people of NVC to be as exciting, energetic, and helpful as I have found them. I hope that as we encounter each other on campus that you will stop me to introduce yourself. I look forward to meeting you.
Again, welcome and congratulations on selecting Napa Valley College to further your education.
Sincerely,
Dr. Edna Baehre
