IVC welcomed College Corps Cohort 5 with a full-day orientation designed to prepare fellows for a successful year of service. The day included an introduction to program expectations, a returning fellow panel, presentations from site supervisors, and interactive workshops. Fellows also had opportunities to connect with one another and their site supervisors, reflect on their goals through a time capsule activity, and write a “Letter to My Future Self” as they looked to the year of service ahead.

Dr. Hernandez says, "These classroom chats allow me to welcome students, share my educational journey, and affirm an important message: you belong here. As president, I strive to create intentional opportunities to engage directly with students, learn from their experiences, and support their success."
