"GCSC has taught me to fight adversity and prove the odds wrong. Even though the time was short, I will forever be thankful for my time here. I could not have achieved the awards I have without my fantastic team and coaches. They are the baseline for the whole team’s success. We, as a team made a big name for ourselves, and I know that will continue in the following season."
“Gulf Coast State College gave me the educational foundation and confidence to pursue a doctorate in physical therapy. I started my education in the Florida panhandle and continued in North Dakota."
"Gulf Coast allowed me to create so many new opportunities. I started at Gulf Coast as a student. I now work a full-time position and go to school here. I received my A.A. and now I am working towards my bachelor's degree with an expected graduation date of summer 2024. Being a student has allowed me to have a deeper connection with the students I work with. Gulf Coast has allowed me to not only learn, but to grow. I have made many friends along with great connections."
