To commemorate #NCSAM, we would like to recognize and
feature participating institutions of the #PacificPartnersProject.
Guam Community College (GCC) serves to meet the educational
goals and aspirations of the island of Guam and the surrounding region. GCC
provides top-notch education, and it also offers workforce development courses.
To further support its vision of being a premier provider of education and
workforce development, the college is dedicated to ensuring that students of
all walks of life have the opportunity to further develop and learn new skills that
are essential to themselves and to the community. GCC has had a long history of
partnerships with both the community, locally and globally.
To demonstrate its support for community and regional
activities, GCC is dedicated to ensuring that there is no discrimination or
harassment on campus or at any college-sponsored activities. As part of its
commitment to the Pacific Partners Project (PPP), GCC has partnered with Victim
Advocates Reaching Out in promoting and showcasing The Hunting Ground, which delves into rapes on US college campuses.
GCC is committed to ensuring its education and community environment are safe
and allow for students, and that it is in compliance with Title IX of the
Education Amendments Act. The college has also hosted workshops that touched
upon the importance of Title IX, and students provided input to evaluate
perceptions of campus safety and how to raise awareness on campus.
GCC has a Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) that has met
several times. It is it the process of formalizing a MOU with Healing Hearts
Rape Crisis Center.
Three GCC employees attended the recent 2017 Community Advocate
training. One was a SART member and the other two are counselors.
GCC also sponsored presentations by VARO, Healing Hearts
Rape Crisis Center, and SiNA. SiNA is an organization that advocates for the
rights and safety of persons with disabilities. SiNA provided two training
sessions on campus for students and law enforcement agencies.
GCC is in the planning stages to have the Prevention Office
of Guam Behavioral Health and Wellness Center and the Guam Coalition provide
training sessions on campus to address issues related to suicide prevention,
substance abuse, and sexual assault awareness and prevention.
All training sessions at GCC are free and open to the
public.
