GCC is aligning workforce development with climate action—creating meaningful career pathways in clean energy while addressing equity and employer needs in Franklin and Hampshire counties. Much of our recent momentum can be traced back to key investments from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, including planning and capacity-building grants that helped the college design programs tailored to the region’s workforce demands.

Today we’re spotlighting current first-generation GCC students and sharing their words of wisdom and encouragement for others!

A first-generation college student is often described as one whose parents or guardians do not have a four-year degree when the student starts college, but a 1st Gen student could be anyone who self-identifies as the first in their immediate family to attend college.

Join us Thursday, Nov. 13 from 12:15-1:15 p.m. for a presentation with Chris White, Associate Professor of Music Theory and Graduate Program Director, Music at @umass . In this talk, Chris explores key arguments from his new book "The AI Music Problem" examining the technical, social, commercial and expressive challenges that make music an unusually difficult domain for AI. The presentation weaves through the broader music AI ecosystem—from startup culture and the limitations of digitizing scores and audio to the intricacies of composition and music’s deep ties to human emotion and experience. While some aspects of music are markedly susceptible to AI, White ultimately argues that music remains uniquely resistant to the full force of this transformative technology.

Sponsored by the GCC Honors Scholar Program, the Social Sciences Department and the Music Department.
