Clubs at GBC are a great way to bring back face-to-face contact in areas of cultural interest, personal interests, and social movements.
Clubs and Networks bring people together, entertain through hobbies, and build-up skills. Use clubs and networks to explore student connections across programs and fields of study, strengthen social bonds outside the classroom, meet students with similar interests or backgrounds, meet students when developing new skills/interests, and otherwise break isolation by connecting students to community in ways that support the college experience.
Clubs have access to skills training, professional development, awards and recognition, and more. Examples of Clubs and Networks:
Check out the Clubs Directory on the SA website. Ranging from academic, to health, to recreation, to social networks and more…there’s a club ready to welcome you.
