About NIVA Our Mission

Mission of NIVA

The New International Virtual Association is a non-profit corporation designed to meet the needs of college faculty within and outside the United States by offering a series of virtual conferences within the academic year. All college faculty can participate in these events. Since 2020, the directors of this association have coordinated a series of virtual conferences for social science faculty and have created virtual proceedings from the various program presentations. Proceedings will continue to be offered with all future virtual conferences, and all presentations will be recorded and placed on this website for other faculty to view. For a variety of reasons, virtual conferences are clearly the wave of the future.
