Each year, the student council members commit themselves to representing the study body’s interests in a fashion they feel will enhance the “caring” student experience found at Victor Valley College. Ongoing support from VVC faculty, staff, administration, and past ASB Council members allows them to continue their road to success. While completion of their personal educational goals is of primary concern, they desire to maintain and further a strong sense of pride in the cultural, political, and academic achievements of the VVC family.
The final goals were pared down from an initial list of 555 goals at the ASB Retreat held July 9-12, 2026, and were adopted on July 23, 2026. Change doesn't happen overnight, until it’s ready to happen, then overnight is exactly when it might happen.
Hope shines in every corner and rides an air of fellowship that says, “We’re all in this together” and a feeling of “one for all and all for one.”
