Courses include a broad range of offerings from health/wellness to personal enrichment, finance, art, and music, with new offerings being developed in response to community needs.

Student Ambassador Program

Room A 109 • 949-451-5214

IVC launched its first year-long Student Ambassador Program in 2014/15. The goals of the program are to build a structured framework in which students can become familiar with the college, gain a working knowledge of the institution, and be visible in and useful to the college community. Ambassadors are required to attend a 2-day training program through which they will be introduced to key stakeholders and learn about the operation of the institution. The IVC Student Ambassadors have become the face of the college and truly create a sense of community. The application process is open in March and April of each year. Students interested in participating in the program should contact the Office of the Vice President for Student Services.
