2026 Daily Event Guide
Faculty and staff may receive Flex Credit for attending these event. Please submit all requests for Flex Credit through the Professional Development system.
Undocumented Student Success Week (USSW) is dedicated to honoring and highlighting the experience of students who are undocumented, underdocumented, DACA-mented, and belong to mixed status families. Undocumented persons bring rich culture, community, and experience to IVC and are invaluable to the fabric of the campus community. We recognize that many undocumented students continue to face significant barriers to employment and financial stability due to their immigration status.
