Student Leadership Opportunities
The GSC Offers Students Opportunities for Leadership and Personal Development that will Prepare Them to Be Successful Future Professionals
The GSC strives to empower our students to become confident and empathetic adults by creating opportunities that strengthen their critical thinking skills, cultural competence, and emotional intelligence.
We provide programs and services that highlight the importance of accepting and supporting different identities and teach them how to become advocates for themselves and others. We aim for all our students to believe in themselves and their abilities to make a positive impact on the world.
