The Paragon Awards recognize outstanding achievement in communications at community, junior and technical colleges. It is the only national competition of its kind to exclusively honor excellence among marketing and PR professionals at two-year colleges. 

NCMPR is an affiliate council of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). The organization is dedicated to fostering the professional development of college communications staff in a variety of areas, including marketing, public and media relations, community and alumni relations, publications, enrollment management and special events coordination.

4.   Students in the EMT/Fire Science Program were busy with activities and testing over spring break. According to EMT/Fire Science Department Chair, Dr. Kay Lewis, CPAT testing went very well with the collaboration of GCC and our Capt. David Sanchez overseeing the training of 325 students. Also, after five days of intense preparation, the paramedic students successfully completed the final practical testing (first round) with no retests.
