message from…

…the President of Greenfield Community College:

There is something transformational that begins to happen as youdrive into Greenfield Community College. It is on that windingroad that one begins to feel the transition from a world ofincreasing individualism and isolation to one of inclusion andcollaboration. The word “community” defines GCC as a college.More than a definition of who to serve; community identifies anenvironment created by faculty, staff and students that encouragesengagement, nurtures learning and cultivates sustainable change.

GCC faculty and staff have always understood the powerfulpotential and privilege of small classes and the need forindividualized attention. Students get to know college faculty andstaff – and they get to know each other. Instead of large lecturehalls and teaching assistants, students at GCC experience teachingand learning in small, intimate learning communities and developlasting relationships on which to grow and develop.

That is the GCC experience. What impact does thatexperience have on student success? According to theCommonwealth of Massachusetts Board of Higher Education,GCC has the highest rated student success scores (graduation,retention and transfer rates) of all 15 community colleges overa six-year period of time.

As we have every fall semester for the past 51 years, GCChas once again opened its doors to all who seek a better life forthemselves and their families. Lives will change for the better asa result, then families will grow stronger and so too ourcommunity. On behalf of our students, faculty and staff, theBoards of Trustees and the GCC Foundation, I thank you for allthat you do to make that possible and for your help fosteringand sustaining the GCC experience.

Bob Pura, PresidentGreenfield Community College

…the President of theGCC foundation Board of directors:

As President of the Board, I am pleased to oversee the campaign tosupport GCC’s programs, help purchase equipment and provideneeded scholarships. Because the Commonwealth’s contribution topublic higher education is less than half the College’s total budget,monies raised in the Foundation’s campaign are essential to helpingoffset the burden of students’ tuition and fees.

The 2013 Foundation campaign raised $954,330. That members ofour community were willing to donate generously is a powerfuldemonstration of their willingness to invest in the College’s mission.This has helped many people attend the College, their first step in alife transforming journey.

GCC students are representative of our community, people youencounter daily. They attend school full time and part time. Manyhold jobs. Some are raising families. Many struggle to pay life’snormal living expenses, plus the costs of their education: tuition,textbooks, school supplies and transportation.

Twenty percent of the GCC students who applied for Foundationscholarships graduated in June. The remaining eighty percent willneed financial aid. Our scholarships are modest, but combined withother resources they can make a difference between staying inschool and dropping out.

GCC is for everyone: for high school students from the top tenpercent of their classes who know exactly which of GCC’sprograms fit their path; for those not sure what they want to dowith their lives; for adults eager to acquire the education or trainingneeded to increase their earning potential. GCC is where all canset out on the journey to realize their dreams and your support ofGCC‘s mission makes that possible.

Student, faculty/Staff & alumni awards

andrew m. Curran ‘13GCC graduate and now AmherstCollege student Andrew M. Curran wasone of the 2013 “29 Who Shine,” agroup of outstanding Massachusettspublic college and university graduateshonored by the Department of HigherEducation for their academicachievements and record of studentleadership and community service.

In his nomination, President Bob Puracommented, “Andrew’s intelligence andpassionate commitment to social justiceare just two of the qualities that makehim a shining example of the GCCstudent body. His long journey broughthim to GCC where he found clearpurpose and meaning. Andrew’s facultysaw his potential even before he did andtogether they worked to achieve it.”

“At GCC,” Andrew said, “theenvironment is encouraging andaccommodating. In my classes, the focuswas on real discussion where the facultytreat students as peers.”

Assistant Professor of English TrevorKearns, Andrew’s mentor, said “Andrewis one of the most impressive studentsI’ve seen. He’s able to make immediateand insightful connections between newideas and his formidable knowledge ofhistory, society, and film.”

Andrew participated in a GCC classthat brings college students inside jails tostudy alongside incarcerated students.He served as President of the Peace,Justice and Environmental ActionAlliance and helped facilitate a film serieson environmental issues. He also wasfounder and a leader of the GCC FilmSociety student club.

linda CavanaughGCC students and alumni aren’t theonly ones who know Linda Cavanaughis a superb math teacher and dedicatededucator - the Learning AssistanceAssociation of New England (LAANE)presented Linda with their OutstandingSupport to Developmental EducationAward. In her 32 years at GCC, Lindahas been a champion for GCC’sdevelopmental math courses, thosecourses that prepare students to docollege-level work in math.

Linda recognizes that students inGCC’s developmental courses havestruggled to learn math as it istraditionally taught. She knows theyoften come to those courses with agap of many years since taking mathand/or with feelings of self-doubt andanxiety along with a lot of courage andperseverance. For many students, GCCprovides their first opportunity tosucceed in math. Linda has initiated andsupported learning communities atGCC from course centeredcommunities, such as one focused ondevelopmental math, reading, andwriting, to the establishment of theMath Studio.

According to Linda, good teaching goesbeyond good techniques. She said,“Teaching is all about heart. You have tobe willing to give of yourself sincestudents are giving so much ofthemselves. GCC is a place with a verybig open heart. None of myaccomplishments have been done inisolation. We have dedicated our livesto helping people achieve their goalsand recognize their potential.”

Chris BilodeauWhen former Deerfield police officerChristopher Bilodeau was notified ofhis selection as the 2013 GCCDistinguished Alumnus, his first wordswere “I am honored to have beenchosen.” No light remark from theperson who in January received theAward for Heroism from Secretary ofState Hillary Rodham Clinton for hiscourageous actions in Pakistan in 2011.

Special Agent Bilodeau of the U.S.Department of State DiplomaticSecurity Service was recognized forgoing to the aid of two other specialagents after an improvised explosivedevice exploded a few feet from hismotorcade in Peshawar, Pakistan.

Bilodeau came to GCC’s CriminalJustice Program in 2001, and thentransferred to Western New EnglandCollege where he received hisBachelor’s degree in Law Enforcement,becoming a U.S. Department of Statespecial agent in 2008. Bilodeau is nowworking stateside in the DiplomaticSecurity Command Center in Maryland.

Bilodeau explained why he will proudlydisplay the GCC Distinguished Alumniaward alongside the Secretary of State’sAward for Heroism. “Of all things I havedone for my education and career, mytime at GCC is the most memorableand important to me.”

“Chris Bilodeau has distinguishedhimself in many ways,” commentedGCC President Robert Pura. “Hisservice is to nation, community andfamily. GCC is pleased to recognizesomeone who is such a shiningexample of a civil servant.”
