Mission: The Pre-Dental Club aims to inspire the pre-dental students of GCC by offering them the insightful advice needed for them to make the right choices, starting in their undergraduate studies all the way to dental school. We will arrange possible shadowing opportunities for pre-dental students to get in some volunteer work and even match them to a job in a dental office. There will be networking events with dental school outreaches, as well as dentists who have already graduated from dental school, for the best upfront advice. As students of a community college, the GCC pre-dental club will be a space where students can ask questions regarding career decisions for the right direction in their personal and educational journey.

When I had first applied to GCC, I immediately went to ASGCC’s website to view the different clubs that were offered on campus, and was crushed when I found out there was not yet an arts and crafts club.

Mission: In our activities, we are not only aiming to learn and experience Japanese culture, but also address issues of over tourism and “bad tourism” issues including disruptive behavior to local communities, disrespect to cultural norms, and lack of understanding of proper etiquette in travel destinations such as Japan as well as their contribution to serious societal problems in the country. In order to tackle this issue, JCC is committed to the following activities: 1. To create a guide book and or social media accounts that discuss proper Japanese cultural norms and rules. 2. To hold workshops and events that focus on rules of engagement and appropriate behavior. By means of these activities, we are going to organize circumstances that students can use to explore the way to behave as tourists in Japan by introducing knowledge about Japanese rules, deepening their understanding of Japanese culture and gaining an understanding of how to foster relationships between tourists and local communities. We confidently believe this effort could be part of a future tourism ideal due to the enthusiastic nature of the JCC where there is a place to build connections with people who have an interest in traveling in Japan.

Depending on the results, it can either make or break our application. Our club stands for making students confident in their skills by helping them, as well as ourselves, prepare for the exam sooner than most. Therefore, increasing our chances of getting accepted into our dream school.

We will spend a portion of our time completing trial problems in order to build our analytical and comprehension skills, as well as enough stamina to stay concentrated throughout the seven and a half hour exam. Although we may not be taking the exam in the near future, it is good to develop somewhat of a study schedule, even with it being a few hours every couple weeks. Our goal is to encourage each other within our community to succeed in the long term.

Mission: Backpacks for Armenia is a student-led organization dedicated to supporting underprivileged children in Armenia by providing backpacks filled with essential school supplies. We recognize that education is not only a fundamental right but also a powerful tool for breaking cycles of poverty and building stronger communities. Unfortunately, many families in Armenia struggle to afford even the most basic materials their children need for school. This lack of access creates barriers to learning, limits opportunities, and places additional stress on students and parents alike. Our mission is to help remove these obstacles by equipping students with the resources they need to succeed academically and to inspire them to dream beyond their circumstances. By providing backpacks, we hope to do more than just supply pencils, notebooks, and books, we aim to send a message of care, solidarity, and hope. Each backpack represents encouragement from one student community to another, bridging cultures and reminding Armenian youth that they are supported. Built on values of compassion, cultural pride, and service, Backpacks for Armenia strives to connect students locally and globally in the shared belief that education can transform lives. Together, we work toward a brighter and more equitable future for Armenia.

Mission: Since 1986, the Scholars Program of Glendale Community College seeks to provide an optimal college experience among its students, which it carries out through three main elements: academics, service, and cooperation. First, the Program offers lower-division and general-education Honors courses. Second, the Program aspires to strengthen the character of each student through noteworthy experiences that aim to promote self-growth and involvement in the community. Third, the Program fosters collaboration, bonding, and friendship. As such, the Program strives to guide and prepare students for transfer to a college or university and to help them achieve success in their future careers. Scholars pursue these goals with an understanding that being a valuable part of an organization entails the ability to be resourceful, plan systematically, proceed with commitment, focus on the greater good, and communicate consistently and precisely. Through these three elements, Scholars thus intends to foster qualities of well-rounded members of the community as they rise toward their true potential.

Mission: What does our club stand for? We’re all about supporting each other as interior design students. This club is a space where we can share experiences, help one another through challenges, and grow together both creatively and academically. What are our goals? Our main goal is to guide students in making the most of their time at GCC. We’ll share advice on which classes to take for both certificates and transfer (with GCC’s new Certificate program coming soon), based on real experiences. Along the way, we’ll meet with instructors, learn from them, and even collaborate on small design projects like apartment layouts. What needs are we fulfilling? This club is here to give students guidance, mentorship, and hands-on practice. Whether it’s planning your classes, helping each other build portfolios, or just connecting with other design students who understand the journey, this is a place to learn, collaborate, and feel supported in your path as a designer.
