A great way to close out the semester 👏

Students, faculty, and staff came together for our end-of-year celebration. Good food, good company, and a well-earned break before finals wrap up. From burgers and hot dogs in the Hospitality Suite to drinks from Aroma Joe’s, it was a solid way to celebrate everything this semester brought.

Always good to see the GBCC community come together like this!

On Thursday, April 23, first-year nursing students presented their community posters to faculty, staff, and the college community.

The objective of the assignment was to evaluate how a selected community is implementing measures to address a Healthy People 2030 objective. Each student chose an objective connected to their clinical rotation experience and focused on the community where their clinical placement took place.

Shout out to Fine Arts student Autumn Richardson, who created the two incredible watercolor paintings presented to the Stebbins family, recipients of this year’s Walter R. Peterson Award.

Working on a tight two-week deadline, Autumn designed and brought to life these beautiful heron pieces, honoring GBCC’s longtime mascot with skill and creativity.

A special thank you to Kennedy Gallery and Custom Framing in Portsmouth, NH, for generously donating the mounting and framing.
