First Lady Jill Biden announced Monday that she’s taught her last class at Northern Virginia Community College after 15 years, The Washington Post reported.

NOVA is an institution local to the Washington, D.C., metro region that Biden joined as a professor in 2009 while serving as second lady. Known to her students as Dr. B, the president’s wife has been an educator for 40 years and a longtime community college advocate.

During her time at NOVA, Biden taught English and writing courses full-time, making her the first presidential spouse to fully maintain a professional career while in the White House. 

“Last Thursday, I taught my last class of the semester and my final class ever at Northern Virginia Community College,” Biden said during a virtual thank-you event for teachers across the country. “I know you will continue to push our nation forward in a way that only teachers can, making sure that our students are front and center.”
