Want to get involved on campus in the spring? Start planning ahead! Student clubs and the Associated Students of Diablo Valley College (aka ASDVC or student government) are currently winding down for the semester. However, now is not too early to start planning ahead for spring. The Associated Students of DVC (ASDVC) will be recruiting new members for spring 2014. To join, you must be enrolled in a minimum 5.0 units for spring, be available on Tuesdays from 2-4pm, and have a minimum 2.0 GPA.
