Right now, we're all feeling the pressure in the last half of the semester, but you know what really helps to relieve some of the pressure and give you a grounded sense of hope and belonging? Cultural and diversity clubs! One of the things we love about GBC is its commitment to, not just your academic needs, but the cultural ones too, the ones that remind you that you're always a part of something bigger than yourself. In this episode, we talk to Russ Adade, from the Student Association, who coordinates and supports all the clubs on our campuses. Tune in to find out what clubs exist, how they can help you and how you can get involved!
