Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Awareness Month celebrates the breadth of people that make up our IVC campus community. This is an opportunity to learn about human experiences other than our own, connect in community with one another, and to reexamine the ways we need to grow and change to better support one another.
WEEK 1: APRIL 3 - 9
Your identities and experiences matter to us. You have unique ideas, contributions, and artistic creations that we would love to integrate into events at IVC. The President’s Advisory Council on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (PAC DEIA) and the Office of Student Equity are actively seeking IVC students, staff, faculty, and administrators that would like to contribute their ideas to the cultural and identity-affirming events we offer.
Join a community of students, faculty, and staff who self-identify as women, men, and persons of color. In every meeting, the experiences of people of color are intentionally centered, celebrated, and honored. We currently have two communities: Womxn of Color Collective (WoCC) and Fellowship Exchange of Lessons Learned & Academic Support (FELLAS).
Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have a rich heritage thousands of years old and have both shaped the history of the United States and had their lives dramatically influenced by moments in its history. Every May during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and throughout the year, national organizations and local partners share those histories and the continuing culture thriving in communities today.
The Office of Student Equity offers support to disproportionately impacted communities of students in order to help promote success for every student at Irvine Valley College. We recognize that some students face more barriers to success than others and that these barriers are often built through unequal access to power and privilege. The purpose of this office is to both address these barriers to success as well as offering tailored support specific to the needs of each impacted student community.
We invite you to join us for events centered on learning, growth, and empowerment for our many communities and cultures present at Irvine Valley College!
