GC Randolph Presents Community Connections Conference

On Monday evening, August 22nd, Global Campus Randolph hosted a Community Connections Conference at Our Lady of the Angels Church in Randolph, VT. This conference was created with the intention of introducing our campus to the community of Randolph, sharing the creative work we are all engaged in and making new friends and connections. There was a fantastic turnout for the conference with community members, campus supporters, ambassadors from other Global Campuses, and the participants of GC Randolph in attendance.

The evening included a welcome address, an honoring of campus participants, a sharing of the GC Randolph story, many dynamic short classes presented by Global Campus teaching faculty, and a panel discussion focusing on making new connections within the community. The participants on the panel welcomed community members to attend their classes and even to teach a class based on their own passions and interests! Community members were also invited to participate with the campus as a resource person, sharing a teaching experience with one of the GC Randolph faculty. When asked how community members should participate with a campus, Shawn of GC Bradford replied, "Just treat us as who we are and not as our disability."

During the catered meal that followed the main portion of the event, many community members in attendance shared how inspired and moved they were by the campus participants and their impressive work. Congratulations to all the GC Randolph participants who created this tremendously successful conference!
