Where we 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.
The student Activities/Governance Program is an essential and fundamental part of the college's educational mission. As the center of college community life, it serves as a laboratory of citizenship, training students in social responsibility and for leadership in our democracy. Through its various committees and staff, it provides a cultural, social and recreational program aiming to make free-time activity a cooperative factor with study in education.
In all its processes it encourages self-directed activity, giving maximum opportunity for self-realization and for growth in individual social competency and group effectiveness. Its goal is the development of the total person as well as stimulating the intellect. Student Activities/Governance Program serves as a unifying force in the life of the college, cultivating enduring regard for and loyalty of the college.

WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE IVC ASG PRESIDENT
Dear fellow students!
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 2024–2025 academic year at Imperial Valley College!
It is an absolute honor to serve as your Associated Students Government President.
On behalf of the entire ASG team, I want to extend a warm welcome to all new and returning
students, faculty, and staff. As we step into this new chapter, our goal is clear:
to cultivate a campus environment where every individual feels seen, supported, and
empowered to succeed.
This year, we are committed to fostering a culture of unity, inclusion, and resilience.
Whether you're navigating your first semester or approaching graduation, know that
you are not alone. The challenges of academics, personal growth, and everyday life
can sometimes feel overwhelming—but IVC is a place where those struggles are met with
community, compassion, and opportunity.
At ASG, we believe every student brings something unique to the table. Your background,
your voice, your vision—these are the things that make our college not just diverse,
but dynamic. We encourage you to bring your full self to campus. Your ideas, your
creativity, and your passions are what help shape a more connected and inspiring IVC.
This school year, I urge you to get involved. Join clubs, attend events, lend your
voice to student forums. Try something new. Step out of your comfort zone. You never
know how one connection, one experience, or one decision can shape your future.
My promise to you as President is simple: I am here to uplift, advocate for, and walk
beside each of you. Together with the ASG team, we will work hard to make sure your
time at IVC is not only successful but meaningful.
Let’s make this year one to remember—not just for the grades we earn, but for the
friendships we form, the goals we accomplish, and the personal growth we achieve.
I challenge each of you to chase your dreams unapologetically, and to never forget
the incredible potential you hold.
Thank you, and welcome to another exciting year at Imperial Valley College. Let’s
make it count!
Elaine M. Valdez, Associated student government President, 2025-26
