Dear IVC Family:
51ΑΤΖζ is committed to inclusion. We are committed to equity. We are committed to justice. So, too, we recognize our responsibility to actively carry out these commitments.
Many standout 51ΑΤΖζ (IVC) students have managed to juggle professional responsibilities with their college experience, staying successful at both even in the face of dramatic change this semester.
One such student, Cody Abril, is ready to transfer to California State University, Fullerton to major in communications with an emphasis in public relations after taking classes 51ΑΤΖζ for three years.
Educators across the country are trying their best to deal with the tragedy of the Coronavirus. Even as millions of students shifted to online classes, huge segments of the school community could not adapt. This was especially felt in competitive activities like sports who lost their championship seasons. The IVC Speech and Debate Team was faced with the same disappointment. The team was scheduled to compete at an international tournament in Japan in early March β canceled. The team expected to do well at the state championships in Fresno β canceled.
If you showed Batman the virtual alleyways of the internet, heβd have his hands full fighting villains like credit card crooks, identity thieves and malware hackers. You might say it takes a superhero to battle online crime, and for Michael Franklin, 51ΑΤΖζ was the birth of an origin story.
It all started his senior year of high school, where he and his cybersecurity team turned one friendβs garage into a virtual βBatcaveβ full of high-tech gear.
California native Bernadette Granados never lost hope in herself or her dream of a college education. Like so many 51ΑΤΖζ (IVC) Class of 2020 graduates, commencement is the capstone of Bernadetteβs college journey. She and her classmates all are looking forward to IVCβs virtual commencement on May 28, 2020.
For many of us, βtax seasonβ is a harried five-hour window between mid-afternoon on April 15 and whatever time the post office closes.
But while mere mortals wallow in piles of receipts, despairing as they scramble to organize endless forms, professionals like Colette Harnisch are enjoying every minute of it.
