Auburn, WA — September 16, 2025
Campus Offices Closed
Green River College welcomes faculty and staff back to campus on Tuesday for its annual
Opening Day celebration—a cornerstone event that sets the tone for the academic year.
Held just days before Fall Quarter begins on September 22, this year’s Opening Day gathered hundreds of employees from across departments to connect, hear from leadership, and participate in sessions focused on student success, equity, and innovation. All campus services and offices will be closed for the day.
With the theme “Intersections: One Vision, One Community, One College” the event emphasizes collaboration, renewal, and a shared commitment to excellence in teaching and service. Keynote speakers offer inspiration and practical insights to guide the year ahead, while breakout sessions provide space for dialogue and strategy-building.
As Green River College embarks on the 2025–26 academic year, the energy and unity felt on Opening Day signals a strong start to what promises to be a transformative year.
