Spring is just around the corner and I’d like to remind you of exciting and important events that are coming up. 2004 John Davitt Award Nominations for the third annual John Davitt Award for Outstanding Classified Service are now being accepted! There are two award categories: classified and management/confidential. These awards are to recognize the individuals who have performed outstanding work and made valuable contributions to the GCC community. Who qualifies? Classified staff and management/confidential classified staff. This is the time to brag about this special person! Who nominates? Anyone—Nominations will be accepted from any GCC employee, student, or a member of the general public. Sorry, you may not nominate yourself.

Classified Council Events Classified Council has been very active with fundraising this year! We are making sure that our student scholarship fund is plenty. Also, I would like to give thanks to Student Affairs and to individuals who have generously contributed to our scholarship fund. The Classified Council Student Scholarship is awarded to a qualified “student who assists a classified staff member.” We may have one or more recipients depending on our fundraising outcome. Scholarship applications and information will be available to you soon. We will present our scholarship recipients at our end-of-the-year picnic in May. The picnic is free for Classified Council members, by the way. Please contact any classified council officer if you would like to join; membership is only $5 per year. Picnic details are under construction at the moment. If you have any ideas or comments for the picnic, please let us know! & |
