Associated Students of GHC Welcomes You!

Greetings, fellow Grays Harbor College students. My name is Greg Taylor and I am your Student Body President for the 2011-12 school year. I consider it both an honor and privilege to serve the students of Grays Harbor College.

For the last 80+ years, Grays Harbor College has been serving our region with the finest education available. GHC is blessed to have some of the most knowledgeable and supportive faculty, administration, and staff around. The college offers a huge variety of academic and vocational programs that you can use to enhance your education and life. Along with our world-class educational opportunities, the college also offers a wide range of services to assist you, ranging from free one-on-one tutoring in the Learning Center, academic planning assistance and personal counseling, and access to the most current electronics in the Media Center, to name just a few. I implore you to take advantage of all the programs and services that are offered to enhance your academic success.

I think it is also worth mentioning the Student Activities and Leadership Program (SALP). There are a myriad of clubs and organizations on campus that may interest you. Being active in a club or organization is a great way to meet others with similar interests and develop invaluable leadership skills. I have been actively involved with student activities and consider it one of the most valuable experiences of my life. I encourage you to find out how you can get involved. You have a voice; when you choose to stop using it is when your opinions and beliefs no longer matter. Find where your voice will make the most impact.

Personally, I think there is no greater cause than academic excellence. I encourage you to take pride in your education and your college. It is important to work hard and take responsibility for your accomplishments and opportunities. It is up to you to follow through with your commitments and to help others celebrate our collective success. Always keep in mind why you are here whatever your specific reason might be. I ask you all to be an example to your peers and your community. If you see a fellow student struggling, take a minute to help them. You never know: they might be your savior in your next class! None of us are perfect, nor should we expect to be. Nobody on this campus will ever laugh at you or make fun of you for seeking assistance. I personally vow that if you do not know where to get help or what to do next, find me or my fellow council members on campus and we will help you. Your success is in your hands. Allow nobody, even yourself, to take it away from you.

On behalf of the 2011-2012 Student Council, I welcome you to Grays Harbor College. GO CHOKERS!

Greg S. Taylor
