A special thank you to Office for Victims of Crime Director Kris Rose and U.S. Department of Justice, The Office on Violence Against Women Director Rosie Hildago for their attendance and remarks at NOVA50! We are also proud to celebrate the official launch of the NOVA Victim Advocacy Corps cohort through the VAC Leadership Summit at NOVA's 50th Annual Training Event. Our Student Fellows participated in dynamic training sessions and are prepared to make a meaningful impact in their field placements. Here's to the beginning of a transformative journey in victim advocacy! All of us at NOVA—including our new Victim Advocacy Corps Student Fellows—are thankful for the support and leadership of Dir. Rose. Without her investment in the future of victim advocacy, programs like the Victim Advocacy Corps would not be possible! Check out both Director Rose's and Director Hildago's remarks about the future of advocacy at the links below. Dir. Rose: https://lnkd.in/ggSZxZkY Dir. Hidalgo: https://lnkd.in/gPQG-8pG #NOVA50 #AdvancingOurAdvocacy
