GCCC and K-State Degree Collaboration Signing Ceremony
Garden City Community College (GCCC) is proud to invite the community to a special signing ceremony and announcement of an exciting new partnership with Kansas State University (K-State). This collaboration will expand access to bachelor’s degree programs in southwest Kansas, providing greater opportunities for residents to achieve higher education and advance their careers.
Event Details:
- What: Signing ceremony and announcement of GCCC and K-State’s degree collaboration
- When: Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at 9:30 AM
- Where: Omar D. Angeles Endowment Room, Beth Tedrow Student Center, Garden City Community College, 801 Campus Drive, Garden City, KS 67846
The collaboration addresses a critical need in the region, where only 17.9% of residents hold a four-year degree compared to the Kansas state average of 33.9%. Developed in consultation with local leaders, this initiative aims to bridge that gap and empower southwest Kansas residents with expanded educational opportunities.
The event will feature remarks from GCCC President Dr. Ryan Ruda and K-State President Dr. Richard Linton, followed by the signing of the agreement and a brief Q&A session.
This momentous occasion underscores the shared commitment of GCCC and K-State to provide pathways to success for individuals and communities in southwest Kansas.
All are welcome to attend this event and celebrate the future of higher education in our region.
