Hello, Eagles! I am Libby Boyles, your 2023-24 Student Trustee, back to give you an update on Student Life here at IVCC, as well as what our Student Government Association has been working toward.
First off, we would like to thank all SGA members and students that participated in the Master Planning Focus Groups.
On Sept. 21st, the IVCC community celebrated the investiture of the 11th President at IVCC, Dr. Tracy Morris. I want to thank Dr. Morris for allowing me to give the closing speech for the investiture.
On Sept. 25th, guest speaker, Roberto Carmonia, was in CTC 124/125, to help celebrate and inform attendees about Hispanic Heritage. Thank you to Mr. Carmonia and all those who attended!
