Message from President: Tragedy in Monterey Park

Dear Students:

Sadly, we are writing about another senseless act of violence. We have been learning about what appears to be a targeted horrific mass shooting that occurred on Saturday evening in Monterey Park that killed 10 people and injured 10 others. In addition, authorities are also investigating another incident in neighboring Alhambra, where thankfully no shooting occurred.

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.

PTK Club Encourages Students to Voice Difficult Experiences Through Art

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.
