From the Desk of the President

I introduced a Land Acknowledgement at the Spring 2021 President’s Opening Session. This was something I had introduced at my former institution and reflects a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) value that should be of importance to any college community. The practice of acknowledging and honoring Indigenous People and the land on which our college was built has been widely embraced and I would like to share this information to emphasize its significance.

IVC’s Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Club hosted an “Inclusion and Equity Through Art” event in the SSC quad on December 7 as part of the club’s service project. The event offered a variety of creative outlets such as chalk art, canvas painting, and rock art for students to express challenging experiences, particularly microaggressions. The project team selected the theme of the event to support IVC’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) efforts which is part of the college’s mission.

Eager Engineering Student Finds Inspiration at IVC

Minoush Nikham

For Minoush Nikham, engineering isn’t just a career, it’s her passion. And when it comes to getting an education, she says her experience at IVC is the cornerstone for her accomplishments thus far. 

“At IVC, I learned I could do it,” states the proud engineer. 

Before enrolling at IVC, Nikham began her engineering journey at another local community college. Expecting to launch into an unstoppable career, she quickly found the college wasn't a good fit.

Land Acknowledgement

Please take a moment as we honor, acknowledge, reflect, and express our sincere gratitude for, and appreciation of, the peoples, ancestors, and sacred land that we gather upon today.

We honor the ancestral homelands and traditional territories of Indigenous peoples who have been here since time immemorial, and to recognize that we must continue to build solidarity, and kinship, with Native Indigenous communities.

From the Desk of the President

It is that time of the year where I marvel at how quickly the calendar year is concluding. It has become my annual ritual to say, “I can’t believe the holidays are already here. How did this year go by so quickly?” Perhaps it is the result of an increased pace that many of us have not had to experience during the past couple of years working and learning from home, or perhaps it is the realization that much remains to be completed.
