Great Basin College

Today, Great Basin College recognizes Constitution Day and shares a special message from U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto about the importance of understanding our government and the role each of us plays in our democracy.

Take a moment to watch her message and reflect on the meaning of “We the People."

Thank you, Senator Cortez Masto, for taking the time to share this message with our students, faculty, staff, and communities.

Saturday, we celebrated 30 years of Great Basin College - Ely Center, but this celebration was about much more than a milestone. It was about the people who made those 30 years possible.

For three decades, the Ely community has opened its doors, supported our students, and invested in the future of education. Every student, graduate, faculty member, volunteer, donor, and community partner has helped shape the GBC Ely story.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating this incredible milestone and to all those whose hard work made the evening possible.

Thirty years behind us. Countless lives changed. And a future still being written together.

Our community came together for hope, connection, and mental health awareness.

We are grateful for the incredible turnout at this Zero Su***de Prevention event. Seeing so many people come together showed just how much our community cares about mental health and supporting one another.

A special thank you to for organizing this meaningful event and bringing our community together around such an important cause. We also want to thank Dr. Laurie Walsh for organizing GBC’s participation, Director of Accessibility/Title IX Coordinator Arysta Sweat for her support, and our Student Government Association ( ) for their participation.

Mental health awareness is important not only at events like this, but also in our workplaces, schools, families, and personal lives. Taking the time to listen, check in on someone, show compassion, and create an environment where people feel comfortable asking for help can make a meaningful difference.

To anyone going through a difficult time: you are not alone. You matter, your story matters, and there is hope. Sometimes, reaching out and knowing that someone cares can make a difference.💛

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event meaningful for our community. Together, we can continue creating spaces where mental health is recognized, conversations are welcomed, and people feel supported.

A new semester means new goals, new friendships, and new possibilities! We were excited to welcome our newest students during Student Orientation and help them take their first steps into life at GBC.

We couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of the Department of Student Success, IT, Buildings & Grounds, Learning Commons, SGA, and PTK. A big thank you to our faculty and staff who helped create a warm and welcoming experience for our students!

Every journey begins with a first step, and we’re honored to take that first step with our students.
