If I could identify one thing that made a difference, it would be Great Bay. I talk all the time about how much Great Bay changed my life and gave me a huge foundation. I am incredibly grateful for my time there.

The Class of 2026 has given Great Bay Community College so much to celebrate. 🎓

This spring, we recognized students earning spots on the President’s and Vice President’s Lists, honored outstanding academic award recipients, and celebrated graduates whose journeys are already leading to careers, transfer opportunities, and bright futures across New Hampshire and beyond.

From nursing and surgical technology students stepping directly into the workforce, to graduates continuing their education at UNH, SNHU, and other universities, the stories of the Class of 2026 reflect the hard work, resilience, and support that define the Great Bay experience.

As Great Bay celebrates 80 years of transforming futures, this year’s graduates remind us what’s possible through opportunity, community, and determination.
