GBC Student Life

We Are GBC!

There's more to collegiate life than classes. The Leonard Center for Student Life (#15 on the Elko campus map) is the hub of a great many other activities. There you'll find:

• The Fitness Center for a great workout
• An activities room with pool and snaffle board (free on Wednesdays), pinball, and a juke box
• Student Government Association office, with its events calendar and textbook buy/sell/swap bulletin board
• The Recruitment Department, with an array of readily accessible literature about campus programs and other offerings
• The office of the GBC Student Advocate

The Student Governement Association sponsors numerous activities and events for students: Movie nights, themed events such as the annual costume party, game nights, Red Ribbon Week, and numerous community service events. All are ways students can enjoy and become involved in college life. GBC's theater, connected to the Leonard Center, holds plays, musical, talks, dance recitals, cocerts and many other events throughout the year. See the Events Calendar for what's coming up.

Another spot on the campus with many resources for students is the Advising and Career Center in Berg Hall (#1 on the campus map), including:

• Want a job? The Center has a Student Job Bank.
