Proud to celebrate the people, stories and identities that make up our Grizzly community. Happy Pride Month from GGC!
We’ve had so much to celebrate lately! 🎉 Here’s a look at some of the moments that made the last couple weeks of the semester special.
The moment 90‑year‑old Rubye Neal was awarded an honorary bachelor’s degree in education during GGC’s spring 2026 commencement ceremony. 🎓
A graduate of the Hooper‑Renwick School – the first African American high school in Gwinnett County – Neal was recognized for a lifetime dedicated to education and service, as well as her instrumental role in preserving the school’s legacy through the Hooper‑Renwick Themed Library.
Thank you for your lasting contributions to Gwinnett County, Rubye!
Is there a such thing as too much commencement content? We don't think so 😊🎓
