Happy Belated HVAC Day!

HVAC – Heating, Ventilation, and, Air Conditioning – you may not think about it until you don’t have it!  Maybe that’s why I’m a day late in highlighting the HVAC industry?  The Bureau of Labor Statistics has identified  HVAC to have a 14% industry growth in employment rates of technicians is expected by 2024, so you will want to consider GRCC’s certificate and degree programs as being a great career option. See what HVAC professionals do by viewing Residential Energy Efficiency Projects  from Films on Demand.  Logon with your last name and 7-digit Raider number.

Need to Return Library Books?

Overdues – no worries! If you checked out GRCC Library materials due anytime this year, the due date has been extended (again) and materials are now due Tuesday, August 18 2020.  Any GRCC overdue fines have been waived.

If you would prefer to return library materials earlier, you may place them into the book drop outside the Library Lobby plaza entrance on Ransom Ave.
