Top 10 ways to make the most of CGCC

Research shows that the more students take advantage of college services and get involved in the college community, the more likely they are to succeed in reaching their goals.

Chandler-Gilbert Community College offers many ways to get involved as well as a number of services to help students along their path of success.

Below are 10 suggestions to get you started.

1. Join a student club. We offer more than 20 clubs and organizations of all kinds to get involved with.
