April is Community College Month
#CCMonth #GuamCC
Community colleges create opportunities for everyone.
Why Community College?
- Affordability: The average cost of attending a community college is a fraction of a traditional university. This translates to reduced student debt, a lighter burden on families, and the opportunity to pursue higher education without financial constraints.
- Academic Powerhouse: Community colleges offer rigorous academic programs, preparing students for successful transfer to universities or directly entering the workforce with in-demand skills. Community colleges equip individuals with the knowledge and tools to thrive.
- Equity in Action: Community colleges are champions of inclusivity. They provide open doors to students from diverse backgrounds, offering adult education programs, specialized courses for working professionals, and vital support services to ensure everyone has a fair shot at achieving their academic goals.
GCC stands tall as a testament to this mission.

A thriving community college plays a pivotal role in fostering a thriving island.
Community colleges flourish with public support, which allows us to:
