140 years is a lot of lives, careers, friendships, milestones, and memories.

Since 1886, generations of students have come to Goldey-Beacom College with an idea of where they wanted to go next. Along the way, our campus, our programs, and the world around us have changed quite a bit. But that forward momentum has always been part of the GBC story.

Today, on Goldey Gives Day, we’re celebrating all 140 years of it. The people who got us here. The students writing the next chapter. And everyone who believes in what this small college can make possible.

If GBC has been part of your story, we’d love for you to be part of what comes next. 💙⚡

Our usual three-day weekend just got a holiday upgrade. 😎

With no Friday classes at GBC and Labor Day on Monday, our students get a four-day weekend to enjoy the unofficial end of summer. And judging by that smile, Gigi’s pup, Viva, is making the most of it too. 🐾

We hope our Bolts have a fun, safe, and relaxing Labor Day weekend! ⚡️💙

Preparation. Perseverance. Purpose.

Those three ideas are at the heart of how Dr. Scott Glenn, Assistant Professor of Business at Goldey-Beacom College, approaches teaching and mentoring students.

In the classroom, Dr. Glenn focuses on helping students connect what they learn to real-world challenges, understand their strengths and keep growing through mistakes. It’s an approach built around preparing students not just for the next assignment, but for what comes after college.

His advice says it simply: “Preparation is what matters.”

Learn more about Dr. Glenn’s classroom philosophy in our latest blog, inspired by his conversation on the *Practice to Profession* podcast. Then listen to the full podcast episode.

Are gaming athletes real athletes? 🎮

Competitive esports takes focus, strategy, quick decision-making, hand-eye coordination and teamwork. At Goldey-Beacom College, our esports athletes put those skills to work through regular practice and competition across games including Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Valorant, Marvel Rivals and Rocket League.

Along the way, they’re building community, sharpening their skills and competing at a high level.

Service is often found in the little things: encouraging a student, helping a colleague, solving a problem before anyone even knows it exists.

This year, Goldey-Beacom College is celebrating two people whose care, consistency, and dedication have made a lasting impact on our community: the 2026 President’s Service Award recipients, Dr. Traci Currie, Assistant Professor of Communications and Media, and Laura Cintavey, Auxiliary Services Coordinator.

Dr. Currie was recognized for the confidence she helps students build and for creating spaces where people feel encouraged to share their voices. One colleague wrote, “Students who once dreaded public speaking leave her classes feeling confident and inspired to share their voices in ways they never imagined possible.”

Laura was recognized for the thoughtful, behind-the-scenes work that helps campus events, rentals, and bookstore operations run smoothly. As her nomination shared, “Clients come back because of the experience they have here, and that experience is often shaped by her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail.”

Congratulations, Dr. Currie and Laura, and thank you to all seven of this year’s nominees for the many ways you support our students, colleagues, and GBC community. ⚡💙

A warm welcome to our newest Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology students! ⚡💙

This past weekend, we kicked off the semester with MACP orientation, giving students the chance to meet faculty, staff, and one another while getting familiar with the resources available to support them at Goldey-Beacom College.

From academic advising and library services to the Wellness Center, orientation was all about helping our newest graduate students feel connected, prepared, and ready for what’s ahead.

We’re so glad to have this new cohort as part of the GBC community and can’t wait to see all they accomplish this semester.

Learning is supposed to challenge us, and that challenge can help prepare students for whatever comes next.

In the latest episode of Practice to Profession, Mary Wheeling, Director of Faculty Development and Associate Professor of English and Humanities at Goldey-Beacom College, talks about how faculty support student success in a changing world.

From communication and critical thinking to creativity, collaboration, and navigating artificial intelligence, Mary shares why strong teaching is about more than delivering information. It’s about helping students build skills they can carry into their careers and communities.

She also reminds us that mistakes and questions are part of learning, not signs that learning has gone wrong.
