A delegation of 登录入口 students accompanied GC President W. Myles Shelton, Ed.D., and 800 other students from the 50 public community colleges across Texas, to meet with their state representatives on Feb. 3 during Community College Day at the Capitol.

GC学生代表团由GC校长Shelton博士率领。, Student Government Association President, Alicia Ann Fletcher, and GC 学生活动 Coordinator, Junior Garcia. They were accompanied by SGA Vice President, Triniti Mendoza, SGA members Lydia Ybarra and Tenia Grissom, and GC Student Ambassadors Sweetly Musick, Jaime Villamil and Amirah Salahuddin.

“It was inspirational to see our students sit down to meet with our state representatives to advocate for their future and those of their fellow students,” said Garcia. “The students are our future leaders and this was an excellent opportunity for them to see first-hand how our state government works, tour the Capitol and get real-world, hands-on experience by meeting with our state representatives.”

GC’s delegation met with Texas State Senator Mayes Middleton and Texas State Representative Terri Leo-Wilson’s office to learn about the bills both legislators support, advocate for the priorities of community colleges and discuss issues important to GC students.

“As a community college student, I had the amazing opportunity to witness our college passionately advocate for the support that we need for our college and community,” said Villamil. “Community College Day provided a valuable platform for educators and students to voice our specific needs and concerns. It was a truly uplifting experience that we, as community college students, have a voice and the support to voice our concerns.”
