The event will take place on Saturday, August 20 beginning at 11:30 a.m. on the lawn near GSCâs Clark Hall. Representatives from community businesses, churches, and organizations are invited to set up displays to introduce themselves to the new students through the use of coupons, gift certificates, free samples, and information. The annual event is an opportunity to show new GSC Pioneers what the community has to offer them. Incoming students can also learn more about the campus student organizations that are available to them, as those groups will be on hand at the event as well.
âThis is a very exciting time in the lives of these students, and we are giving local residents the chance to introduce themselves and their organizations to them. We are more than excited to be a part of such a wonderful community thatâs so willingly gives back to those in the area,â said GSC Director of Student Activities Jodi Walters.
