Past Hall of Fame's
Hall of Fame 2021
The Gateway Community College Foundation proudly announces the 24th Annual Hall of Fame, a multi-week celebration and recognition that begins October 18th, and continues through mid-November.
The Hall of Fame is the GCC Foundation’s largest source of funding for the scholarships it awards to hardworking Gateway students, many of whom face financial challenges while pursuing their educational dreams. Due the pandemic, last year’s Hall of Fame was “virtual,” but it was a huge success. This year, the Hall of Fame, themed “Bridge to Equity,” will be a “hybrid” event, featuring both in-person and online elements. It also will include three features from 2020, which will be showcased in a series of electronic Constant Contacts.
