2019 Decision Day at West Ottawa was a SUCCESS! GRCC’s table was full of students. GRCC Academic Advisor Kristie Kozub and Lakeshore Success Coach Suzy Nevares (both West Ottawa High School graduates themselves) were able to connect with lots of incoming students, answer questions, and recruit.

GRCC is West Ottawa’s number one school of choice this year, with the majority of their seniors are coming here in the fall!

GRCC welcomed more than 300 7th-grade students from Wyoming Jr. High on May 1 as part of the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) grant. After enjoying a BBQ buffet in the Raider Grill, students learned about the college’s many programs and what they can do to prepare themselves for post-secondary success.

As part of the GEAR UP grant, the GRCC Foundation is setting aside scholarship funds for the 7th-grade cohorts from Wyoming Jr. High, Godwin Middle School, Godfrey-Lee Middle School, and Kelloggsville Middle School to use upon graduating high school and enrolling in a post-secondary program. GRCC’s GEAR UP program will provide academic support and advising to the Class of 2024 cohort of students and parents as they progress through the middle and high school years.
