Material Success: IVC Alum Takes Costuming Talents to Apple TV

Whether it’s on the stage or on-screen, Spencer Keane’s costume-designing abilities can be described as out of this world.

The Irvine Valley College grad is plying his costuming creativity on the new space-centered Apple TV show, ‘For All Mankind,’ as a self-proclaimed “Spacesuit Technician.”

“That’s the cool job title,” admits Keane. “We’re technically labeled as specialty costumers."

DSPS Peer Mentor Program

What is peer mentoring? 

Peer mentoring is a structured and trusting relationship that brings new students together with continuing IVC students who share experiences and can offer guidance, support, and encouragement aimed at supporting and developing the character of the mentee. A peer mentor is NOT a counselor, therapist, or academic advisor. 

Responsibilities for participating in the program include:
