Over the years I’ve admired the creativity of many students in the ways they decorate and message their graduation caps during commencement. And like many things pre-COVID I may have taken for granted the rich narratives expressed in these messages.
Twice a year, faculty, staff, and administrators are invited to attend the President’s Opening Session where President Hernandez reviews the college’s accomplishments and initiatives.
He had a background in business and a head for numbers, but what Robert Caicedo lacked was a true professional purpose.
It wasn’t until he arrived at Irvine Valley College that it all started to add up.
Prior to enrolling at IVC, Caicedo worked in business development and sales for about two years before hitting a wall. Struggling to find passion in his profession, the determined student knew he would have to take initiative to make a change.
“I wasn’t really enjoying what I was doing,” says Caicedo. “It’s never what I wanted to do.”

Articulated high school CE courses are building blocks in an educational pathway leading to certificates, associates degrees, transfer, and/or employment.
As mandated by the Title IX Regulations, all training materials used to train IVC Title IX staff are publicly available below:
