Mission: Since 1986, the Scholars Program of Glendale Community College (referred to as “The Program” or “Scholars”) seeks to provide an optimal college experience among its students, which it carries out through three main elements: academics, service, and collegiality. First, the Program offers an enhanced, enriched lower-division and general-education curriculum of Honors courses. Second, the Program aspires to strengthen the character of each student through community service and various efforts to help others. Third, the Program fosters social support, cooperation, collaboration, bonding, and friendship. As such, the Program strives to guide and prepare students for transfer to a college or university and to help them achieve success in their future careers. Scholar students pursue these goals with an understanding that being a valuable part of an organization entails the ability to be resourceful, plan systematically, proceed vigorously, follow-through carefully, focus on the greater good, and communicate consistently and precisely. Through these three elements, Scholars thus intends to foster qualities of well-rounded individuals and citizens as they rise toward their true potential.
