Why Should You Choose GTCC?

GTCC has helped me develop my professional and networking skills. Going to GTCC gave me real-world exposure that I wouldn't have found by going straight to a four-year school.

Rachael Wright, a double-major student who takes part in an apprenticeship

I didn’t have a mentor or a space to gain resources and support when I needed it most.

Ashley Anderson, GTCC student and co-advisor of Women Achieving Success (W.A.S.)

The Honors Program gave me the structure and opportunities I was missing. It’s been life-changing for me.

Jenna White, a GTCC student who is a member of the Honors Program

This performance is a good way to celebrate women's contributions to music history.

May Jhou, GTCC music instructor, about a Flute Concertino, written by Cecile Chaminade, a prolific female composer in the early part of the 20th century

Anything I can do to enlighten young people, I will do. Young people don’t know what’s in front of them. I’ve got years of life experiences ... I like to give back through my own experiences.

Lanier Warner, a 60-year-old former GTCC student who credits the Student Success Initiative Club as a big influence on him
