Each year, the 18 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 402 goals at the ASB Retreat held July 06-09,2023 and were adopted on July 11, 2023. Change doesn't happen overnight, until it’s ready to happen, then overnight is exactly when it might happen. The students will address many of the issues that were on their initial list as time permits.
Hope shines in every corner. It rides an air of fellowship that says, “We're all in this together” and a feeling of one for all and all for one.
