GRCC Team Finishes 2nd in “World Quest Competition”

GRCC "Captain Raiders" Team Finishes 2nd in World Quest Competition

Congratulations to the GRCC “Captain Raiders” for the Second Place Finish in the Annual World Affairs Council “World Quest Competition”. The stellar group of scholars also known as Intellectual Assassins totaled an amazing 47 or 48 points (depending on which score sheet being counted). The team from Steelcase either tied GRCC, or won the competition by one point (again, depending on the score sheet). GRCC’s team was unified, and focused through most of the contest. Upon completion, the consensus was…”If only we knew the capitol of Trinidad…”!

The team – choosing to accentuate the positive, instead of dwelling on what could have been, – went to the Elbow Room on Fuller St for a post-competition celebration and toasted the success.

[…]  The company recently hired nine workers who completed a composites training program through Grand Rapids Community College at the Tiara Yachts/Energetx complex.
