Bridge to Excellence

Capital Campaign 

Glendale Community College (GCC) is known for its bridges, connecting the campus in a seamless flow throughout the hills and valleys of the college’s physical footprint. These bridges create a dynamic community of teachers and students striving together for excellence in all that they do. GCC also provides bridges for students to overcome challenges – educational, financial, and social. At GCC, no gap is too large and no dream goes unfulfilled. At the core of the college’s mission is the belief that one of life’s greatest achievements is to realize one’s best possible self. It is this mindset that inspires our students to serve the world with passion, inquiry, and resiliency. By offering a transformative educational experience, the college helps students grow, learn and thrive together - their lives forever connected by the spirit of community that defines GCC. Glendale College Foundation (GCC) is rooted in this connected community and committed to overcoming any gap, no matter how wide. With valued input from the Foundation board, the GCC Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, and other constituents, have created a strategic program with facility funding plans.
