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!
If you see any young guests on campus today, please make them feel welcome!

The Admissions Office hosted an on campus group visit for the Junior Class from Belding High School on May 30th. Students were able to learn about our Physical and Biological Science departments, Job Training options in the MTEC mobile lab and general college information during a fun Kahoot game session.

A special thanks to the following staff who were part of the activities that day: Jennifer Batten, Tim Hoving, Tim Periard, Leigh Kleinert, Lauren Woolsey and Cody Giba as well as our folks who provided a delicious lunch – Keaton Krupa and Destiny Swanson.
