The Office of Student Leadership & Engagement is at the heart of the GCC student community. We strive to create conditions where students may take an active role in the student body, and attain a sense of personal investment in GCC. We do this by creating opportunities for students to create or join a club, participate in student governance, and attend educational, cultural, and social events. These shared experiences allow students to develop important skills, including leadership and governance, teamwork, budgeting, communication, and active citizenship. gccpermaculture 29 181 GCC Permaculture Club We ❤️ donuts and democracy!
