As Iâve shared before, our students and employees at Treasure Valley Community College have been incredibly resilient in responding to the challenges we all faced this past year due to COVID-19.
We have redesigned classes to allow for more online options, reconfigured classroom space to provide social distancing and reimagined campus events to include creative student activities like outdoor yoga, make-and-take activities and grab-and-go treats. But admittedly, we are anxious for the return of concerts, dances and group gatherings.
One of the events we especially missed again this year is our annual TVCC Foundation Donor Recognition & Scholarship Recipient event. Instead of an in-person event complete with delicious desserts as weâve enjoyed in the past, we held a virtual recognition on Thursday night. Complete with an online tour of the new Career & Technical Education Building, the evening was a great way to virtually showcase our campus, students and donors.

She reminded those who attend the forum to wear masks.
âItâs a great space,â Yasuda said, adding that if enough people showed up they could use two rooms.
