Transfer Students, Look at This!

Kevin Meza of the Transfer Center sent this email out announcing a spring break trip to some cool University of California campuses. In Your Humble Blogger's opinion, this is an excellent opportunity...

Greetings!

I am pleased to announce that we secured funding (thank you ASGCC)
and will be going on the Central and Northern California College
tours during spring break (April 11-13). Based on student interest,
we will visit UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, UC Davis, and UC Santa
Barbara. The trip will include admissions presentations, college
tours, student panels (featuring former GCC students), and
sightseeing in San Francisco.

Transportation and housing is only $20! Students have to pay for
their own meals.

Students can either come by the Transfer Center (SR building, second
floor) or download the application from our website:
www.glendale.edu/transfercenter. The priority deadline is Tuesday,
March 8th at 5:00pm.


Fun fact for UC Berkeley:
Fall 2002 (the year before our first trip): 94 GCC students applied
and 42 were admitted.
Fall 2010: 281 GCC students applied and 82 were admitted.

Based on the support and encouragement from everyone on campus, GCC
has almost tripled the amount of applicants and doubled the amount of
admits to UC Berkeley. Thank you all!
