Building a Thriving Future; Vision 2030 for IVC and Imperial County
Imperial Valley College (IVC) has embarked on an ambitious journey to redefine its role within the community, charting a bold path toward 2030. This journey is not just about the institution—it is about transforming the entire Imperial County. Our recent recognition as the No. 1 Community College in the nation by the Aspen Foundation is both an honor and a responsibility. It signals the start of a new chapter, one in which we must stretch beyond ourlimitstoshapeabrighterfuture.
IVC stands at a pivotal moment in its history, fully aware of the challenges our community faces: high unemployment, low rates of bachelor’s degree attainment, healthcare shortages, and persistent poverty. These are not just statistics; they are barriers that hinder our community’s growth. But we see these challenges as opportunities. Through a shared vision developed with careful deliberation, we arecommittedtobeingthecatalystforchange.
Our mission is clear and ambitious: to eradicate poverty in Imperial County by expanding access to education and ensuring the success of every student. Education is more than a path to a degree; it is the foundation for economic mobility, family upliftment, and community revitalization. No other institution in Imperial County is as uniquely positioned as IVC to drivethistransformation.
Envisioning 2030: A Future of Success and Transformation
By 2030, we envision an IVC that supports over 10,000 full-time equivalent students in state-of-the-art facilities designed to foster learning and success. This vision extends beyond numbers, it is about creating profound impacts on lives, families, and the broader community.
Financial stability is integral to our vision. By 2030, we aim to build a foundation endowment exceeding $10 million, eliminating financial obstacles for our most vulnerable students and ensuringthateverystudentcansucceed.
Ourfacilities’masterplan,setforcompletionby 2030, includes a one-stop Student Services Center, cutting-edge auto tech classrooms and laboratories, and a regional public safety training center. These vibrant hubs will centralize resources and services, contributing to a thriving campus environment where students can meet their academic and personal needsinoneplace.
The transformation we envision extends beyond our campus. By 2030, we anticipate Imperial County’s unemployment rate will have dropped to an unprecedented low of 10%, bachelor’s degree attainment will exceed 25%, and more high school graduates will pursue highereducationthaneverbefore. Message from

Driving Excellence
Building on Aspen Success
In the glow of the 2023 Aspen Award, IVC also found its profile raised on a national level in 2023-2024.
Imperial Valley College became one of four community colleges in the nation that were selected to participate in a research study to learn about how students choose programs of study. The research is being conducted by the Community College Research Center, headquartered at Columbia University in New York.
The goal is to learn what people, experiences, and resources inside and outside of the college help students make a decision about their program of study. Ultimately, the findings from this research will provide guidance to community colleges on how to structure programs and practices to ensure that students, especially those underrepresented, receive help to explore and choose a program aligned with their interests and goals.
Automation Certification
Imperial Valley College has been recognized as one of the top performers on the West Coast in a certification program that tests students in various industrial applications using the latest industry 4.0 standards.
The Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA), a nationally recognized third-party certification organization, has awarded gold certifications to 230 IVC students. IVC’s year-todate awards represent more than a third of the gold certifications of the 48 schools participating. Three programs have embedded SACA instruction: Electrical Technology, Plant Operator, and Diesel Technology.
Nursing Perfection
IVC’s LVN Program Maintains Five Years of Perfect Licensure Passing Rates
Every Imperial Valley College student from the Fall 2023 Licensed Vocational Nurse cohort passed the NCLEX-PN licensure exam, maintaining the program’s 100 percent pass rate for the fifth consecutiveyear.
The RN program also earned the same result of 100 percent NLEX pass rates for their Fall 2023 graduates. These achievements reflect high success, retention, employment, and licensure rates acrossallnursingprograms.
The licensure pass rates were a primary factor in the designation of IVC’s Licensed Vocational Nurse Program being ranked as the best in California November 2023 by practicalnursing.org.

Integrity
The warrior’s forthright and fierce demeanor mirrors the college’s commitment to integrity. The mascot’s honest and ethical approach to every challenge reflects the principles that guide our institution’s actions and interactions.
Core Principles in Action
Campus Safety Awareness Day, ASG Transition Meeting & Campus Events
Integrity is at the heart of Imperial Valley College's campus events, whether it’s honoring the courage of first responders at our 9-11 Memorial, fostering accountability in student government leadership, or promoting responsibility through Campus Safety Awareness Day. Each event upholds our commitment to integrity, empowering students to make positive, principled impacts on our campus and community.
At Imperial Valley College, we believe that integrity is more than just a principle—it's a way of life that shapes our community and guides our actions. Our events are designed not only to commemorate important moments but also to inspire meaningful dialogue and collaboration among students, faculty, and community members. Together, we continue striving to create a legacy of accountability and respect that will last for generations to come.
2023-2024 Annual Report
A Journey Rooted in Community and Tradition Engaging Communitythe
The initiative to redesign the Arabs mascot began in 2020 when the Student Affairs Committee and the Associated Students Government (ASG) proposed aligning the mascot with IVC’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. This led to the formation of the Mascot Identity Task Force (MITF). Their goal was to select a mascot that truly represents IVC’s community values.
After years of campus-wide input and with Vision 2030 in mind, the IVC campus community moved forward to retiring the Arab mascot.
Press releases, social media updates, and email were used to reach students, alumni, faculty, staff and community members. Two surveys were administered in order to gather accurate data on mascot identity preferences.
The Choice of the Desert Warrior
Supported by a broad base of current students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members, the Board of Trustees voted in March 2021 to retire the former mascot and in June 2023, adopt the “Desert Warriors” name, effective June 21, 2023.
Creating the Desert Warrior
Local artists and alumni were invited to collaborate and submit mascot renditions. Three top choices were then selected for a community survey, seeing significant community participation.
Refining the Design
Community feedback highlighted areas of improvement. Based on feedback, artificial intelligence was used to blend the winning design with community suggestions.
Finalizing the Mascot
The final design was developed in collaboration with SX Sportswear Inc. to convert the AI-generated design into a vector-ready image suitable for apparel and merchandise.
Out of three options was one designed by alumnus Ian Sanchez, winning a majority of survey votes and blended through AI with community feedback.
A vector-ready image suitable for merchandise was developed in collaboration with SX Sportswear Inc. to perfect the final design.
Accessibility
Adapted to the demanding desert climate, the Desert Warrior exemplifies resilience and adaptability. These traits resonate with our commitment to creating an inclusive and accessible learning environment that provides equitable opportunities for all students, regardless of their backgrounds.

Lotus Living & SDSU-IV Student Housing
Joint SDSU Imperial Valley - IVC Student Housing Project
Construction began in early 2025 for a joint housing project between Imperial Valley College (IVC) and San Diego State University Imperial Valley (SDSU-IV) at the SDSU-IV Calexico campus. This project, initially announced in Fall 2023, is largely funded by $11.6 million in state allocations. This includes $2.5 million secured by then Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia for SDSU-IV, and an additional $9 million from the Higher Education Student Housing Grant Program, all of which contribute to the project’s $17 million program costs. The joint student housing partnership will utilize the state investment to build 40 single or double occupancy rooms at the SDSU-IV Calexico campus. This housing is planned to be available to students enrolled at both IVC and SDSU-IV, with completion expected by Fall 2026.
“Imperial Valley College is helping people grow into successful versions of themselves.” Ashley
Lotus Living: A Partial Solution
Twenty-six Imperial Valley College students call the Lotus Living Tiny Homes Project home, a quiet refuge where they can study for their degrees. The result of a partnership between the City of El Centro, Imperial Valley College and the Imperial Valley College Foundation, this "tiny home village" was designed for the use by IVC students, with priority given to former foster youth and students facing housing insecurities. It consists of 26 tiny home units.
The Lotus Living Community exemplifies IVC's Basic Needs Initiative to provide preventative and sustainable solutions to housing insecurity and homelessness. People wishing to support this effort are encouraged to contact the IVC Foundation.
Housing Insecurity Issues of IVC Students
A 2023 survey of 1,330 IVC students found:
23% underpaid or are unable to pay their rent
16% moved in with others due to financial problems
12% lived in a hotel/motel, camper, shelter, abandoned buildings or outdoors.

Annual Report
Father, Son Lithium Training Classmates
When El Centro resident Jose Samuel Gonzalez saw that IVC was launching a lithium training program in Fall 2023, he knew it was an important career-enhancing opportunity. Thinking the program would also benefit his father, he decided to bring it up. To his surprise, his father had already learned of the program and was just as interested in it. Both father and son were among the first 48 graduates of IVC’s year-long Plant Operator Program. “It’s basically that we want to move up to a better life and to have better opportunities. You have to develop a skill and make your way through it, for the future and for our family. That’s what this program has done for us.”
His father, 61, and also an El Centro resident, said, “I want to be a plant operator, and I believe this program will help me.” In addition to earning a certificate in the Plant Operator program, Gonzalez Sr. also earned a certificate in water treatment from IVC that same year.
Pioneering Chemical Technician Program
Imperial Valley College has introduced its first Chemical Technician Program, uniquely designed to meet demands of the lithium industry. This new program is a critical component of Phase 2 of the Lithium Industry Force Program (LIFT), aiming to produce highly skilled technicians equipped to support the lithium sector's expansion. The program was highlighted during a joint press conference with the County of Imperial and regional partners within lithium and geothermal industries in May 2024.
The program expects to see its first 25 students complete their certificates in less than two years, with a strong likelihood of immediate employment within the lithium industry, thanks to close partnerships with key industry players.
IVC & CETYS Binational Study Program
IVC and CETYS University Sign MOU To Expand Cross-Border Education
Imperial Valley College and Mexico’s Centro de Enseñanza Técnica y Superior (CETYS) University signed an historic memorandum of understanding in a binational study program to broaden access to courses and resources for students from both institutions.
The binational collaboration offers IVC students new access to degrees in engineering and corporate law, along with other programs, available through CETYS University. Classes are available in both Spanish and English. IVC agreed to allow students from CETYS who meet IVC’s international student application requirements to
attend IVC, paying regular per-unit tuition and related fees generally paid by residents of the Imperial CommunityCollegeDistrict.
CETYS agreed to accept eligible students from IVC who meet CETYS’ international student application requirements, and the institution will issue the necessary documents for visa applications, if needed.
It represents a critical step in implementation of Assembly Bill 91, to increase access to higher education for low-income students living within 45 miles of the California-Mexicoborder.
