IVC’s Marketing and Creative Services team picked up seven Medallion Awards and one Rising Star Award from the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations (NCMPR) District 6 last week. District 6 covers Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Utah, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Territory of Guam.

IVC’s creative team won in the following categories:

Gold Medallion:

As part of a two-day tour of Southern California, President Joe Biden made a stop at Irvine Valley College on Friday, October 14 to deliver remarks on lowering costs for American families. The President spoke to a crowd of nearly 150.  

After two and a half years of virtual competition, the IVC Speech Team made its victorious return to in-person competition earlier this month at the 2022 PSCFA Warm-Up Tournament hosted by El Camino College. Fifteen colleges and universities from across Southern California and Arizona came together to compete at the event.

Jeff Botwin has one piece of advice when it comes to achieving an overdue goal: “It’s never too late.” And while it wasn’t easy, the IVC alum’s decision to return to college proved well worth the investment.  

“Going back to school can be unnerving. It can feel like you're going backwards,” admits Botwin. “But for me, it was really enjoyable … it was something that made me happier since it was taking me in the right direction.”

Dear IVC Community:

As we learn of the increasing violent acts in Iran – including at Sharif University and on high school campuses, we extend our support as this news can be upsetting and distressing, especially for those in the Irvine Valley College (IVC) community who have close ties with the country and Iranian community.

IVC unwaveringly supports the empowerment of women around the world to choose the way they wish to present themselves without fear of violence, imprisonment, persecution, or death.
