Letter from President
DR. LENNOR M. JOHNSON, ED.D Although this past academic year had several unprecedented challenges, I’m extremely proud of how our faculty, staff, students, administrators, and trustees responded to these challenges. We adapted to change; we demonstrated great resolve and resiliency and stayed focused on serving students and our community. Moreover, we came together as one unified team. In this report, you’ll see how IVC continued its mission in helping students achieve their goals and serving the community while adopting new practices to keep pace with the evolving higher education landscape. Most notably, IVC has adapted all of its services and course offerings to a remote or low contact modality to confront the challenges brought forth by COVID-19. As you read the following pages, we have found creative ways to provide meals and resources to our most vulnerable students by providing touchless food and technology distributions. We have worked collaboratively with state and local governments and
the IVC Foundation to provide housing for our students to create the Lotus Living Rise Above Resilience Community, better known as the Tiny Homes. We have demonstrated our resilience by quickly migrating all of our services online and most of our courses. We continued many of our sacred rituals, such as graduation and recognition ceremonies, by hosting car parades. We also made a conscious effort to address some of the racial disparities that have plagued our nation and institutions. We have hosted Social Justice and Equity Forums and have invested time, energy, and resources to ensure our campus is equity-minded and inclusive for all. In this report, you’ll also learn about the campus improvements that we are doing. We opened our new DSPS (Disability Support Programs and Services) building this year. We are upgrading our nursing facility and started construction to modernize buildings 200, 300, and 800. We remodeled the library, counseling center, and financial aid buildings. We are expanding the college center and are upgrading most of our HVAC systems. There are also plans to repair the tennis courts and build a restroom facility near the baseball field. This pandemic has been difficult on all of us, but I am amazed by the resiliency and creativity of our students, staff, faculty, and administrators. Archie Griffin once said, “In the face of adversity, you find out if you’re a fighter or a quitter. It’s all about getting up after you’ve been knocked down.” IVC certainly did not give up or quit. Instead, we reinvented ourselves to confront our new reality and stayed true to our mission of serving students. Even though we’ll continue to have our share of challenges, I am extremely hopeful and inspired by the collective strength of our community. WE ARE IVC! I want to thank everyone for being a part of this journey, and your continuous support of our mission, as none of this would be possible without it.
MISSION STATEMENT
W
e foster excellence in education that challenges students of every background to develop their intellect, character, and abilities; to assist students in achieving their educational and career goals; and to be responsive to the greater community.

DSPS STUDENT PLANS I’ve been a student since February of 2020. I started the semester on campus and got to come for three weeks. I went through a lot of phases and stress. I didn’t know what being fully online was like. I found out about Zoom and have been so glad it’s been a life saver for me, it calmed my stress down and my mental health. And then I’ve been in the DSPS club as well and I’m hoping to get this club chartered so we can do fundraisers and help out our community as well. I’m hoping once we get our DPS club chartered, we can get students interested. Overall it’s been a great experience at DSPS, I like the new building and it’s bigger than the original. I’m hoping to have a grand opening soon so this has been a great experience and I hope to graduate soon. I’m studying math. Hopefully I can become a teacher or a student! Options are open!

AN ESL STORY
ESPERANZA COLIO
“
I f you don’t try to merge with the community, to learn the language you are left out. Going to school was the opportunity to understand, to communicate and create relationships.” -ESPERANZA COLIO
We Pursue Dreams
Among her many duties, Esperanza Colio, Imperial County’s Deputy County Executive Officer, oversees obtaining and managing tens of millions in grant funds to rehabilitate or replace dilapidated housing, improve infrastructure, create employment and enhance the lives of thousands of people in Imperial County. To Colio, however, it is more than work; it’s the realization of a dream nearly forgotten until she graduated from Imperial Valley College and then San Diego State University Imperial Valley (SDSU IV). Born to a large and very protective family in Mexicali, she recalls she was about 9 when her father helped her to see the desperation of abject poverty and immediately knew she wanted to help those in need when she grew up. But life intervened. Her father was badly injured and left unable to work while she was in high school. She attended the University Autonoma de Baja California (UABC) and focused on accounting so she could get a job while in school to help support her family. She later became the accountant for Comite de Turismo y Convenciones del Municipio de Mexicali. Then she later moved to the Valley full-time and quickly realized the challenge she faced speaking Spanish only. “You are so isolated,” Colio said, “If you don’t try to merge with the community, to learn the language you are left out. Going to school was the opportunity to understand, to communicate and create relationships.” She first took English as a Second Language (ESL) classes at Imperial Valley College (IVC) and, at the recommendation of her instructor, she added a heavy academic load, primarily to help her improve her English language skills. Then an IVC counselor encouraged her to continue her education at SDSU IV. “At that point, I didn’t even know it was a possibility,” Colio said. After receiving her degree, she was hired by Imperial County as extra help in 2004. Later, she was the county’s Community and Economic Development manager and a grant writer extraordinaire for more than 10 years. In that time, she secured and managed more than $40 million in state and federal grants for the county. She was promoted to Deputy County Executive Officer in August 2018. She also manages county growth and improvement initiatives.

CHELSEA HAUCK, IMPERIAL HIGH SCHOOL “I have been in the Dual Enrollment program since the summer of my freshman year going into my sophomore year. I have taken 5 Dual Enrollment classes so far. This program is such an awesome program because hopefully by the end of my senior year of high school, I will have almost a year of college completed. The classes I’ve taken are counting towards my general education classes for the major I pick.” Dual Enrollment “will help me save time and money while at college. I highly recommend anybody who has the opportunity to take Dual Enrollment classes, to start taking them now.”
ISABEL REGALADO, CALIPATRIA HIGH SCHOOL “When I began dual enrollment, I wasn’t sure how it was going to help me other than the opportunity to take college courses while in high school. After completion of the course, I found there are many benefits. Not only am I saving money because dual enrollment is free for my family, I am also earning college credit before I graduate high school.” Dual Enrollment “will allow me more freedom when I get to college to double major, minor or graduate early to pursue my degree in veterinary medicine. For me, I have also sharpened my time management skills and learned to prioritize my daily goals, all traits that will assist me after high school.” “Dual enrollment has given me a real advantage in college and in life. I am grateful for this opportunity.” This program is such an awesome program because hopefully by the end of my senior year of high school, I will have almost a year of college completed. The classes I’ve taken are counting towards my general education classes for the major I pick.” Dual Enrollment “will help me save time and money while at college.

DUAL ENROLLMENT
More than 2,700 Imperial Valley high school students have enrolled in IVC’s dual enrollment program since it began in the 2017-18 academic year. Students take IVC courses at their high school during their regular school day. This program is open to high school sophomores, juniors and seniors with qualifying grade-point averages. By the end of the 2020-21 academic year, nine Valley schools were participating in the program with another five slated to join in the 2022-23 academic year. Imperial Valley students have the opportunity to enroll
and receive college credit at no cost. Students do not have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses, nor do they need to apply for financial aid. This includes any books/ materials that the course requires. On average, a dual enrollment student can save approximately $2,500$5,000 per semester. Dual enrollment students have an earlier exposure to higher education. This allows them to familiarize themselves with college-level courses. It also opens the opportunity to advise students earlier regarding their pathways and educational goals.
“
The Imperial Valley College Dual Enrollment program is an excellent opportunity for local high school students to explore college and careers and earn actual credits while in high school. We are excited to continue to grow the program by enhancing our collaboration with K-12 partners and their families to promote the program and in return increase opportunities for students.” - VICTOR TORRES, ASSOC DEAN OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT/

Marcus John-Anthony Griffin was born and raised in San Diego. He’s 34 years old and resides in the Imperial Valley, where he attends Imperial Valley College, majoring in photography. Marcus relocated to Imperial Valley after recently being released from federal prison. With the mindset of getting his life back on track, he decided to enroll in college. He’s a part of the Restorative Justice Program at IVC, which helps formerly incarcerated individuals with a second chance and the opportunity to become productive members of society. While attending a food drive on campus doing volunteer work, he was introduced to Elizabeth Espinoza, IVC’s Communications and Governmental Relations Officer. Over a few brief conversations, Marcus expressed his passion for photography and videography and was offered an internship. Marcus says “All this goes to show that if you put your mind to it, there’s nothing you can’t do. Here at IVC they understand that everybody comes from different walks of life. With a positive state of mind, you never know what doors will open for you. It’s not always about where you’ve been, or what you’ve been through, more importantly it is what you’re doing and where you’re going.”

100 YEARS OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Imperial Valley College has celebrated an assortment of major anniversaries over the years. All of them have signified the deep roots the college has in the Imperial Valley community. IVC’s heritage of local higher education opportunities for students goes back to the early 20th Century. In fact, 2022 marks another anniversary for higher education in the Valley. A centennial. It was in September, 1922 that the first classes were held at Central Junior College, in a building located on the grounds of Central Union High School in El Centro. Two years later, in the fall of 1924, instruction began at a second college, Brawley Junior College, on the grounds of Brawley Union High School. Enrollment increased in both schools until World War II, when attendance dropped sharply. Brawley Junior College was forced, by lack of attendance, to discontinue classes at the close of the 1947 school year. The former college building is still used as classrooms at BUHS. In the fall of 1951, the CUHS board agreed to student requests to change the college’s name to Imperial Valley College. IVC became an independent community college

district in 1959, and the taxpayers in Imperial County approved construction of what became the current campus on Aten Road. While the new campus was being built, IVC classes were held on the Imperial High School campus, in “temporary” buildings that were later moved to the Aten Road site and served as IVC classrooms for the next five decades. The opening of the IVC Aten Road campus, in September of 1962, was the culmination of years of hard work by visionary citizens to finance and build a freestanding community college in Imperial County.

IVC FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES CUHS ALUMNI GROUP SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT One Imperial Valley College student has been awarded $2,500 by the Central Union High School Alumni Group Scholarship by Central Union High School District for the Fall 2021 semester. Scholarship recipient Alexis Ramirez plans to attend IVC for two years and then transfer to a university of her choice. She plans to pursue a career as a homicide detective. To be eligible for the scholarship, a student must be a Central Union High School graduate, involved in the Imperial Valley community, submit an essay regarding their field of study and submit teacher recommendations. The Central Union High School Alumni Group supports Central students attending Imperial Valley College and highly encourages them to study locally. Charles Pinney began this effort and continues to raise funds to expand its reach to Spartan students. “Our joint efforts with CUHS Alumni Group are prime examples of working together as a community to provide students with the financial means, through scholarships, to pursue higher education, “said Rod Smart, IVC Foundation director. “Their selection of Alexis Ramirez is just another example of the quality of our future students in the Imperial Valley.” “The CUHS Alumni Scholarship is presented each year for the past nine years to a bright student who may not have the resources to pursue higher education,” said Charles Pinney, CUHS Class of ’60 alumni, “Applications are reviewed, candidates are interviewed by an alumni committee, and awardees are selected. The scholarship is in honor of those teachers who prepared us for a successful future.” Those interested in donating to the CUHS Alumni Group or IVC Foundation are encouraged to visit givetoivc .com

WOMEN’S 10,000 CLUB DONATES $200K TO IVC NURSING PROGRAM According to Dorothy Keating, last president for the Women’s 10,000 Club, the founding of the club in 1908 in El Centro came about after a group of businessmen said they wanted to work until they had 10,000 residents. As the men became busier, the women of the town decided to take that name and use it for a women’s organization. The organization some years ago voted to give any remainder of the funds of the club, if the club should break up, to the IVC Nursing Program. The club

unfortunately had to break up, but the remainder of the money went to the IVC Nursing Program for scholarships. “This is the first time that the club has donated to the IVC Foundation,” Mrs. Keating wrote. “We had owned our own clubhouse and once we had sold our clubhouse, as it was written in our bylaws, we would donate any remaining funds to the IVC Foundation for a good local program to support and donate to, which is why we chose IVC’s Nursing Program.”

“
I chose to support the IVC Foundation because for over thirty years as a instructor and counselor, I saw firsthand the effects of the scholarship funds on our students. In many ways it was the difference between graduating and not furthering their education. The students are grateful for the help, and it will show when they take their rightful leadership of our communities.”
- MARY LOFGREN, LONGTIME DONOR, RETIRED IVC EMPLOYEE, PRESIDENT
“
Supporting the IVC Foundation has been a real joy to me for many years. Many of our employees attended IVC, as have many of our customers. It is as important an asset to the Imperial Valley as we have. And it just keeps getting better.”
- FIDEL GONZALEZ, PRESIDENT FICU BOARD OF GOVERNORS, TREASURER
“
We support the IVC Foundation for one simple reason: to give these kids a hand up, not a hand out. The Foundation’s programs, like the Victor Jaime Leadership Institute, and the Lotus Living tiny homes project is making a huge difference in their lives. To see them grow into mature adults through education is a wonderful thing. I don’t know who feels better about that: the students or the very generous contributors to the IVC Foundation!”
