As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

�������� (GGC) has initiated several ounces of prevention to make its campus a place where students, faculty, staff and visitors feel safe. As a result, the Campus Prevention Network (CPN) named GGC a 2024 Honoree. The CPN recognizes colleges that are committed to programming focused on areas that include student safety, well-being and community building.

“We appreciate being recognized for our efforts to provide the education and training that promote the safety and well-being of our students,” said Dr. Matthew Robison, associate provost for Student Affairs. “These are ongoing efforts to continually empower students to have the tools so they make good decisions.”

One of those initiatives is the Protecting the Grizzly Den project. Its focus includes programming to educate students about the dangers of impaired driving.

In addition, GGC has safety training available, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a required part of all GGC students’ physical education courses. Thousands of students, faculty and staff have received CPR training.

GGC also has an on-campus counseling and psychological services center that offers counseling and referral services for students.
