Holiday Greetings from the Vice President

As the holiday season
approaches, we are thankful to work
with partners like you to serve our
wonderful students. I am mindful of
a new student who arrived at Green River
this fall who was unusually homesick,
so much that she wanted to go home after
the first day. We let our partner know
to inform her parents, took extra care
of her at GRCC, and enlisted the help
of GRCC students from her country to
give her special attention. The weekend
then ensued. On Monday, I asked her
how she was doing. “I love this place,
“ she said. “Everybody takes care of
me. I want to stay”. I met her parents
in her country a month later, with our
educational partner, and the parents
confirmed that she is doing great.
This true story is an example of
how when everybody in the relationship
– partners, parents, and Green River
staff, teachers and students – support
our kids, good things usually happen.
Our partners like you provide an essential
service to help us recruit the right
kind of students to benefit from our
college, and to support them once they
are here. We appreciate all you do,
in service to our great students.
Please accept our thanks and best wishes for the holidays.
