Writing help at Great Bay goes far beyond commas and citations.
CAPS Writing Center Specialist Erik Hinnov shares how tutoring becomes an extension of the classroom, helping students brainstorm, organize ideas, revise with confidence, and figure out not just what they want to say, but why it matters.
And yes, sometimes snacks are part of the process. 🍫

We appreciate the counselors from Spaulding, Dover, Oyster River, Exeter, Portsmouth, and Prospect Mountain High Schools who joined us to learn more about Great Bay Community College’s academic and workforce development offerings, including certificate programs in Medical Assisting, Phlebotomy, and Culinary Arts & Sustainable Foodways.
The group also received updates on Early College, WorkReadyNH, and Student Life before touring our new welding lab.
We’re always grateful for the opportunity to connect with this important group and share the many pathways and opportunities available to students at GBCC.
