Dear EVC Students,

We are in the process of developing our next five-year Educational Master Plan 2022-2027 (EMP). We are hosting a series of visioning sessions and want to ensure that your voice is heard as we examine data to help us assess EVC’s mission, vision, and values and identify and update goals to help us meet them.  If you aren’t sure what an Educational Master Plan and visioning session is, you can watch this video message from me to learn more.  

Virtual Visioning Session for EVC Students:

• Thursday, March 10, from 2:00-3:30PM – Register here for the Zoom meeting. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Your voice is so critically important to the future direction of Evergreen Valley College. We hope you will participate in this process.

In community,

Dr. Tammeil Y. Gilkerson

President

This past summer, the California Community College Chancellor’s Office launched the new statewide ICanGoToCollege.com marketing and advertising campaign. The ads run statewide on radio, digital, and streaming television and feature actual California community college students.

Now, they are looking to feature 50 more students across California. All students who participate in this photo shoot will receive a $400 stipend. Please note, students will be required to complete a standard student photo release form and students will be needed for a single day, roughly 1-2 hours. 

If you are interested in learning more, contact Josh Russell, EVC's Director of Marketing and Public Relations at [email protected], and he will send you more information.

Join us on Friday, March 4, at 4:00PM, at the EVC Art Gallery (VPA building) for an artist talk with Bay Area artist Angela Willetts, who will talk about her exhibition titled "Bound," with a reception will follow.
