Weirdly, the absence of a valley had not occurred to me, even when I resided in Irvine and taught my first class ever on your campus, circa 1984. (Very good memories there.) "Irvine Valley College" has such bucolic, idyllic, green associations that I've always liked the name. I find it hilarious that somebody way back then felt the need to note that the campus would not have its own name "or a football team." Is that what makes a college?! <br /><br />MAHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
