Recognition for our History Teacher

Congratulations to our field trip leader on being selected a Faculty of the Year at Northern Virginia Community College. Charles P. Poland, Jr. was presented with a certificate and engraved Jefferson Cup at a ceremony last month.

Dr. Poland teaches history at the Annandale  Campus and through the Extended Learning Institute. 

A number of his students (past and present) nominated him for the award. I was one of those who submitted a nomination form, having been informed of the award competition by another history student who has attended the field trips for many years.

Dr. Poland and his wife Betty put an incredible amount of effort into planning and leading the Civil War tours.
