Everything we do starts with our people.
We are here to help our people flourish. We bring together students, staff, and faculty with a variety of talents, lived experiences, and passions to create a harmonious environment where everyone can thrive. No matter who you are, you are welcome at SJVC!
This purpose defines not just our own expectations of ourselves, but our behavior toward one another. We invite everyone at SJVC to live and embody our core values every day so we can make sure that our community is strong, supportive, and successful.
Our Core Values
Values only matter when they’re shared — when we as a community agree to embody them, together. When everyone at SJVC stands side-by-side, living these values the way we speak, act, and behave each day.
We invite you to stand with us.
