Welcome to Gavilan College
Whether in online or in-person format, Gavilan College is dedicated to our promise of your success.
Gavilan College has been serving the communities of South Santa Clara and San Benito Counties for over 100 years. Through wars, through recessions, through technological change, and yes, through pandemics, Gavilan College has always adapted to the challenges of the times while continuing to provide high-quality education, career training, and support services for all of our students.
The Board of Trustees recently passed a resolution affirming our commitment to the success of our Black and African-American students. Like many other institutions, we are grappling with our role in systemic racism and policing, and will be intentional in fostering dialog around these topics. Our theme for the year is Equity, Inclusion, and Healing.
This semester you will find the friendly faces of the Welcome Center staff online in the Virtual Welcome Center instead of coming to campus (bonus: no parking fees!) and the majority of your classes will be online. When you do come to campus, it will be with Social Distancing Protocols and a lot fewer people. We will still be here to support you.
Whether you are attending classes in Zoom or iLearn, visiting your instructors' Virtual Office Hours, or participating in online events like President's Forums, Coffee and Conversations, Movies for Mental Health, or the Virtual Career Fair, you will be a part of our Gavilan College community. Take advantage of the drive-up Food Pantry twice per month, or the laptop lending program. Get help with online tutoring, and guidance with an online counseling appointment. Use the many resources of the library, including Ask A Librarian!
Your instructors have been using their summer months preparing to make their fall online classes a good experience for you. As Gavilan College president, I commend you for moving forward with your education, and persevering through change. We will ALL come out of this stronger, with new skills and perspective, as we all look forward to the time we can come together on campus again.
