Happy Constitution Day! Today we celebrate the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787 — the foundation of our democracy. It’s a day to reflect on the rights, freedoms, and responsibilities we all share as citizens.🇺🇸

We ❤️ donuts and democracy! It`s National Voter Registration Day today, and GCC was joined by folks from the League of Women Voters of Franklin County on campus to help our community check their voter registration status and register to vote. (And we gave away delicious @adamsdonuts for anyone who stopped by). @lwvma #nationalvoterregistrationday

Attending Greenfield Community College was a transformational experience for Matthew Ackerman that helped shape both his personal and professional path. Affordability is what initially drew him to the college, but it was the flexibility and supportive environment that truly won him over. “GCC allowed me to explore my interests and easily switch concentrations when I wanted something new,” he said. “I always recommend it whenever I get the chance.”

Today is National Women’s Equality Day, commemorating the 1920 adoption of the 19th Amendment. However, it wasn’t until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that all Americans received the right to vote. Today we celebrate the achievements and contributions of women throughout history and also acknowledge the necessary continuing efforts to maintain and further equality for all.
