Imperial Valley College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Imperial Valley College is a college in Imperial County, California, USA. Founded in 1962 the college currently enrolls around 7,000 students per year. Currently, Ed Gould is President of the college. The main campus is located on a site in the city of Imperial. The extended campuses are located in El Centro, Brawley, and Calexico.

History

The Imperial Valley College had its beginning on May 9, 1922 with the name of Central Junior College, opening in September that year. Originally at Central Union High School, 2 years later a new college named Brawley Junior College was opened. Brawley Junior College had to close in 1947 due to lack of attendance. Because of this, Central Junior College was now receiving students from all over the Imperial Valley; students and faculty wanted to change the school name to a more representative one. The Board of Trustees officially changed to Imperial Valley College in late 1951.

A ground-breaking service was held, October 2, 1961, for Imperial Valley's first college.

Due to the lack of space, IVC moved from El Centro to a temporary site in Imperial, on the campus of Imperial High School, before settling in at its current home.

Mascot

Because of the desert location, the mascot "Arabs" was chosen. However, the college's leadership has intermittently considered changing this because the mascot has become a distraction for athletic teams traveling out of the Valley. A new push to change the mascot was launched during the spring 2009 academic semester.
