Suggest an IVC Commencement Speaker

Participate in the Process!

The Irvine Valley College Commencement speaker is chosen through a selection process that starts when students, staff, faculty, alumni, and others in the community offer speaker suggestions through this website. The speaker selection process begins more than two years in advance of Commencement. The chosen speaker joins a long list of distinguished past commencement speakers who have shared their thoughts, perspectives, and wisdom with IVC graduates and their families.
