After a three-year hiatus, IVC’s Model United Nations (MUN) team returned to the National Model United Nations Conference in Washington, D.C. While having one of the smallest delegations in the college’s MUN history, IVC won the top team award “Outstanding Delegation,” three position paper awards, and one best delegate award.
The implementation of the Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program is under development at IVC, estimated to launch in Spring 2023. MESA is a college and career prep program, created to increase the number of economically and educationally disadvantaged students that achieve academic and career success in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
Linda Purdy enriched the Orange County literary and arts community for over 30 years. Her playful poems, stories, and art found homes in The Ear, Faultline, and other local literary magazines.
Congratulations to Director of Technology Services Nick Wilkening for being named IVC’s 2022 Manager of the Year! Nick, who recently returned from deployment with the US Air Force Reserve, was instrumental in assisting the college with technology needs during the COVID pandemic.
Take a break from studying and refresh with relaxing activities!
After nearly 40 years of quality career education, there are enough Irvine Valley College success stories to fill a book. And while these passion-to-paycheck tales tend to share certain plot elements: a Laser-focused determination, an independent spirit… they don’t always start out on the same page.
Complete your Steps to Become an IVC Student on our campus!
Meet with Irvine Valley College (IVC) staff and faculty to assist and guide you through the enrollment process by attending our in-person workshops and events on the IVC campus.
ELEVATE AAPI Learning Community (LC) and EMPOWER Tracks are open to all students who meet the program requirements (will be discussed during information session).
Space is limited to approximately 25 students per academic year for the Learning Community and 35 students for the EMPOWER Tracks. The program enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. We will utilize waitlists for any additional interested students and provide referrals for any additional services available.
Faculty Mentors are assigned to each interest area/educational Guided Pathway at IVC so students in the cohort can meet with the designated faculty to learn more about the major, degree, career pathways, work-based learning experiences (such as internships, apprenticeships, and fellowships) that align with in-demand industry sectors or occupations.
