From Literature to Ledgers, A Journey of Transformation
Starting college as an older student can be intimidating, to say the least. Many older students feel they've missed their chance, or that it's too late to change. But Julie Sandoval, a determined and ambitious 28-year-old, shattered these stereotypes when she embarked on her journey at Irvine Valley College (IVC).

From the Desk of The President
As the holiday season approaches, we find ourselves at the intersection of reflection and celebration. In the midst of grading papers and closing out year-end projects, it’s easy to overlook the profound impact we have in influencing students’ lives. Please join me in taking a moment to identify ways to express gratitude within our workspaces.
