Dear GCC Students,

Welcome to Greenfield Community College! Whether you're returning for another semester or just starting your college journey with us—know this: you belong here, and we’re so glad to have you as part of our community.

At GCC, students are at the heart of everything we do. Your success, your well-being, and your experience matter deeply to us. I truly believe that education has the power to change lives, and my goal—as well as that of our amazing faculty and staff—is to give you the tools, resources, and support you need to thrive, both in college and beyond.

Here at Greenfield, we’re proud of our inclusive, dynamic campus where curiosity, creativity, and big ideas are always welcome. You’ll be learning from dedicated faculty who are not only experts in their fields but also passionate mentors who care about your growth. Beyond the classroom, there are countless opportunities—clubs, internships, community service, research, and events—that will help you explore your interests, build your skills, and make your time here unforgettable.

I’m also deeply committed to making sure that GCC is a place where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. We believe in the power of diverse perspectives and experiences, and we’re always working to make this a space where you feel valued and empowered to be your full, authentic self.

As you begin or continue your journey here, I encourage you to dive in—get involved, try something new, and connect with others. College is a time for learning, of course, but it’s also a time for discovering who you are and what you care about.

Once again, welcome to GCC! I’m excited for all that lies ahead and can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish.

Warmly,

With warm regards,

Michelle K. Schutt, Ph.D. President of Greenfield Community College
