GGC Community

gathers forGrizzlyfest

Bubbles and music filled the air as more than 400 people gathered to celebrate on the lawn for the 2021 Grizzlyfest this past fall. About 30 student organizations and academic programs provided crafts, games, science demonstrations and other activities for kids and adults. Entertainment was provided by the Bearly Actors, Grizzly Percussion, the Grizzliettes and individual performers. The new GGC String Quartet debuted with a lively Irish jig. Dr. Jann L. Joseph, president, welcomed the crowd and Tom Willard, vice chair of the Alumni Association, provided remarks. The Dean’s Chili Cook-off champion was Dr. Bernard Oliver, dean of the School of Education. His short rib chili not only earned the most votes from attendees, but won the Best Tasting Award, as well. Votes for the Chili Cook-off raised more than $5,400 for the GGC Fund, which provides important support for the college and its students.
