Featured GC Bradford Participant
Drew
Drew has been joining us at GC
Newport for several semesters now
and he brings with him his friendly
face and his caring heart. When
Drew first joined, he sat quietly
near the back of the room, but that
soon changed. He began to raise
his hand, share news and updates,
lead seminars, and then teach
classes. Drew is very adept at using
technology, especially creating
PowerPoint presentations. He makes
his own presentations and presents
them on his own. This semester, he
will showcase his experience as an educator once again when he teaches his class. We
all look forward to seeing him join us each week!

Take a journey with us this academic year as we
explore our natural world. From the depths
of the oceans to highest mountain peaks,
we will learn about the world around us,
what part humans play and what we can
do to preserve our natural resources. Each
campus will find unique and creative ways to
explore this theme as the year unfolds through
science, art, music and literature.
Virtual Learning
In person classes were suspended last spring due to COVID-19 but our learning
continues! The campuses meet weekly and many participants have continued
teaching via Zoom. Spring semester begins at the beginning of April and we will
continue our learning virtually and follow VT Department of Health guidelines
about when we can meet again in person. Please join us this spring for some
exciting online classes!
