Every year, GBCC has a unique personality brought to life by the students who work tirelessly to make it happen. This year is no exception. It is going to be a fantastic representation of the creativity and enthusiasm represented in this year’s student leadership board. To guide their way, they developed the following endeavor statement and goals for the week:
