GCC continues to offer new courses, begin new initiatives, and enter into collaborations every year. A new manufacturing lab was created to cater to students planning to enter into the industrial workforce, while an addiction certificate program was added at GCC as a way to help people struggling with addiction due to the opioid crisis. This past year, longtime 18-year GCC president Bob Pura retired. The 10th president of the community college, Dr. Yves Salomon-Fernández, started her tenure as leader of the college in August 2018.
