To all the students studying hard and preparing for the final exams: we wish you lots of success. We believe in you! You got this! 💙

Did you know that ESL students can meet with professors one-on-one to get help with their writing assignments? Ask your professor or visit the ELC for more information! 😊

Thank you to our superb E.T. (Embedded Tutor) Claire for visiting an advanced AESL class to present about AI as a Tool for English Learning. 💻 It was amazing as students learned how to use AI to improve their English skills and connect to native speakers. 😃

Congratulations to our ESL 1 student, Anton Xuan Zheng Wong, whose artwork, The Silverlight Bonsai, is currently on display at the Student Art Exhibition at the Fine Arts Gallery at Irvine Valley College. 🌿👏

Created with LED aluminum wire and hand-twisted metal string, Anton’s bonsai sculpture reflects themes of patience, growth, and perseverance. 🙌

In Anton’s words:
“At a time when I felt unsure about my future, those small moments of encouragement from people around me truly lit me up and gave me more confidence. To me, this piece is about quiet growth and patience.” 💙

➡️ You can see Anton’s work and many other incredible student art pieces in person through July 13 at the Fine Arts Gallery (FA 102). Gallery hours are Monday–Wednesday, 11 a.m.–4 p.m.

✨ We are proud to celebrate Anton’s creativity and talent with our campus community! 😃👏

Fernaze is an ESL student from Iran enrolled in ESL 1. 😃 She also receives support through the Writing Center, where she can meet 1-on-1 with a professor to review her writing assignments. 📝 She is a hardworking student and a dedicated mother. 👏
