When it comes to performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), thousands of ɫ��TV (GGC) students have the knowledge and skills that could save a life. Every GGC student is required to take physical education 1101, which includes a section that covers compression-only CPR.

Dr. Ken Horowitz, assistant professor of physical education, said that teaching chest compression CPR takes away much of the concerns people would have if CPR still included mouth-to-mouth breathing.

On a cold, dark winter morning, a group of ɫ��TV (GGC) students and their professors made their way through the forest to listen and watch for birds. It was part of their experimental methods class.

“The idea is to immerse our students into scientific methodology,” said Maria Fernandez, instructor of biology. “We want our students to learn about the environment and to analyze the data that they collect. In this case, the birds are the data.”

Scholarship. Leadership. Service. Creativity. These four pillars define ɫ��TV (GGC). On February 21, more than 500 guests, ranging from business and community leaders to GGC alumni, gathered at the college’s new Convocation Center to celebrate their support of the college.

By the time the evening ended, GGC’s inaugural Four Pillars Scholarship Gala raised more than $275,000 to support student scholarships and emergency fund needs. The excitement grew as attendees raised their

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 80% of the world’s population will experience lower back pain (LBP). The causes of LBP range from injuries to the spine, muscles or ligaments to poor muscle tone and joint problems.

Yesterday, ɫ��TV (GGC) celebrated the life and honored the service of K-9 Officer Buddy, 12, who recently passed away due to kidney failure.

K-9 Officer Buddy, a Labrador retriever, was laid to rest with full police honors, beginning with a procession from the Building 3000 Lot on the GGC campus and ending with a memorial service at the Pet Angel Memorial Center in Bethlehem, Georgia.

Buddy joined GGC’s Police Department in 2015 and quickly became an integral part of the team

The adage goes, you learn more outside the college classroom than in it. It’s when many learn how to live independently for the first time, discover their true calling, conquer insecurities and rise to significant challenges. For the exceptionally fortunate, it’s also when they meet their true love.

There’s no telling how many people have met as ɫ��TV (GGC) students and gone on to tie the knot.

Here are two of those stories:

What happens when a company like OpenAI invests over $100 million to develop and launch ChatGPT, only to find out another company has accomplished the same thing at a fraction of the cost? Most people would shrug their shoulders and say that’s competition.

DeepSeek-R1, an AI model developed by the Chinese company, DeepSeek, is making headlines for performance that is comparable to ChatGPT but developed at a fraction of the investment cost.

New year. New semester. More students. 

That’s how ɫ��TV (GGC) is starting its spring semester. Enrollment increased 5% over the spring 2024 semester to 11,636 students. This is eighth consecutive semester that the college has seen growth.

“More residents in Gwinnett County and beyond are attracted to GGC for several reasons,” said Dr. Jann L. Joseph, president. “When you offer bachelor’s degrees that are designed to give students the knowledge and practical skills needed for a
