Advancing GGC
Grizzlyfest fills campus with
GGC Spirit L
ast October, nearly 450 enthusiastic alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends gathered for Grizzlyfest – A GGC Homecoming. The event’s activities included musical and dance entertainment and crowning of the 2019 Homecoming king and queen. Guests of all ages enjoyed arts and crafts, balloon artists and displays. Children playing bubble soccer bounced around the lawn. The popular Deans’ Chili Cook-Off offered samples of nine recipes ranging from Thai turkey to vegan Georgia peach to hearty white. The crowd picked a Southwestern style beef chili by Tyler Yu, dean of the School of Business, as the favorite – making Yu a three-time champ. “The Chili Cook-Off raised over $1,100 – for the GGC Fund, 44 percent more than 2018,” said Holly Lisle, director of Alumni Engagement. “The GGC Fund helps support student financial aid, scholarships, honors programming, service recognition and campus events.” The event ended with the Baseball Experience, which included batting and catch practice for community children with current GGC baseball players and coaches.
