Dr. Lennor Johnson discusses student support services and assistance available to students.
A public health crisis, or other emergency situation, affects all members of the Imperial Valley College Community. Understanding the importance of support services during this time, we’ve collected and compiled information about health, food resources, employment, and more. This support services hub is designed to provide a central location for help with various needs arising from the pandemic. Check back frequently as these pages will be updated as additional information becomes available.
