A Time for Thanksgiving |
|
As we approach the time of our national day of thanks,
it is timely to reflect on the abundance of talent and
technical resources our faculty and staff bring to our
campus, and the energy our student leaders bring to
their responsibilities. I am grateful to our students
for choosing Grossmont College to begin or restart their
college journeys, and to my administrative colleagues
for their insights and wisdom as we grapple with the
everyday challenges our freedoms provide.

Appreciation Celebration and the Art and Music Festival
Thursday evening.
The event celebrated the "Best of San Diego" honor and featured our Afro-Cuban Ensemble, Dance Department,
Vocal Jazz and Big Band entertainment, with Radio 91X on
site. For a donation of cash or non-perishable food
items, everyone enjoyed a spaghetti dinner. The ASGC will
donate the food items to the Silent Witness Project and
to survivors of domestic violence.
