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 33 199 GCC Permaculture Club Three caps, three gowns, one inspiring family!

Alma was the first graduate of Howard University`s art program, and carved a space for herself in a predominantly white and male-dominated art world in the `60s. She was the first Black woman to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. She was a leader in the color field painting style and Incorporated nature and the cosmos into her work. Participants made miniature Alma- inspired abstract paintings using her signature style. Craft club meets on Mondays at noon in the Dining Commons - come join us!
