Peer Mentor Spotlight: Grace Pham was an ELEVATE Peer Mentor in the 2025-2026 academic year. Her favorite part of being in ELEVATE was being able to bond with her peers in the program, and the faculty supporting our community. Being part of the ELEVATE community helped develop her sense of belonging as an Asian-American. Now Grace wants to reciprocate the support she has received from the community, as she intends to engage in future research in relation to the AANAPI community. Grace is transferring to UC Davis in the Fall of 2026 as a Psychology major. Congratulations Grace! We wish you the best at UC Davis.

Throwback Thursday - A look back at some memorable moments in ELEVATE this past year. We welcomed California Poet Laureate Lee Herrick to IVC to celebrate AANAPISI Week. Hosted events such as; Orientation, Filipino American History Month, Chinatown Rising Screening with Film Producer Josh Chuck, had our students perform a Dragon Dance for Lunar New Year, took our students on a field trip to the theater, and had a Chinese Tea Mixology workshop to highlight a few of the numerous programs and activities offered through ELEVATE. Looking forward to seeing what’s in store for next school year. Until then, have a great summer!
