Future-Ready IVC Community of Practice: Designing Co-Curricular and Cultural Experiences That Matter

The Future-Ready IVC Community of Practice (CoP) is a yearlong professional learning experience embedded within the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access Council (DEIA) Council. This initiative is designed to build shared understanding, institutional alignment, and actionable strategies around the principles of Community College 3.0, a model focused on preparing students for success beyond completion through strong transfer outcomes, career readiness, and social mobility. The CoP brings together faculty, classified professionals, and administrators to collaboratively define what ""future ready"" means at Irvine Valley College and to foster a collective understanding of how all roles across the college contribute to student success. These workshops are created as a series and build upon one another to help attendees build a collective understanding. Participants should plan to attend all sessions in the series to facilitate this shared experience and knowledge. Meeting 5: Monday, March 2 from 1:30-2:50 i… Presented by: Dr. Kimberly Lowry.
