 Summer
months have been busy at Grossmont College. Nearly 7,500 students took
advantage of the opportunity to “Make Your Summer Count” by getting a head
start on their college degrees, or completing some of their general
education requirements. In addition, we had a full compliment of culinary
arts and other career-focused students on campus, as well as 28 eager Summer
Readiness Program EOPS students.The by-now-familiar green construction
fencing appeared around the site for the new Science Building, adjacent to
the new Learning and Technology Resource Center. Initial site preparation
during the summer, including clearing of vegetation, means that there will
be less noise and dirt when students return in late August.
Our promotional campaign for the fall semester is now in full swing. Look
for our print ads, direct mail pieces, and listen for our upbeat radio
commercials on selected high-rated stations as well as drive-time traffic
spots. Please help us spread the word that Grossmont College is first in
transfer to San Diego State, and has just been named “Best of San Diego”
again by readers of the San Diego Union-Tribune.
I invite everyone to join us for the official opening of our 44th
academic year at the Fall Convocation, Monday August 16, 8 a.m. in the
Student Center, and look forward to seeing you there.
Respectfully,
Ted Martinez, Jr.
