Start Your College Journey with Success!
Welcome Gators! Our College Success Workshop series is designed to provide new students with the tools and resources they need to thrive in their academic journey at GRC. Starting college can be overwhelming, but with the right support system in place, success is within reach. Our workshops focus on building essential skills for navigating coursework, managing time effectively, and developing strong study habits. Beyond academics, we emphasize the importance of connecting with fellow students to create lasting friendships and a supportive community. These workshops provide a strong foundation to ensure you begin your college experience with confidence and the tools to succeed both in and outside the classroom.
Bonus, these workshops flow into Welcome Day, which is a fun-filled event hosted by Student Life that offers even more opportunities to connect with fellow students. Then one week later, Fall Quarter classes begin!
