Community Celebrates Return

After a year of limited face-to-face events, students, faculty and staff came back to campus in a big way through activities both traditional and innovative. As part of the college’s Return to Community celebration, the college introduced a welcome event for faculty and staff. The festive gathering included remarks by Dr. Jann L. Joseph, president, lunch and ice cream on the lawn and a celebration of service awards and retirements.

Crowds of first-year students walked through the library’s Arch of Knowledge in GGC’s annual tradition, March Through the Arch. They were joined by many returning students who were invited to attend because their own first-year March Through the Arch had been canceled by the pandemic. Also kicking off the semester was the annual Green Scene, which introduced Grizzlies to student clubs, campus resources and wellness tips and coincided with the International Hot Dog Festival, which offered up hot dogs, bratwurst and Italian sausages with toppings from around the world.
