Grizzly Voices - students speak out

I love the community that you can build while you’re here at GGC. The community here is the most supportive you can imagine, and you’re pushed to do your very best. I have never felt out of place here or unsupported by my peers and professors. I have always been given the best opportunities to further my knowledge.”

GGC does a great job with helping students transition from high school to college. College can be very intimidating, especially for first-generation students like myself. Luckily, there are many resources that have helped me along the way. Whether it’s tutoring or financial aid, GGC has someone who is willing to hold your hand throughout the whole process.”

I love how welcoming all the professors are for each class I take. They truly care about not just my success in college, but also in my future career. Thanks to having smaller class sizes, I feel that professors are able to develop a more personal connection with each individual student.”
