Our faculty and staff are a dynamic group of innovative educators with diverse interests.  Some of our specialties include teaching with technology, creative writing publications, world literature, pedagogical research, and film analysis.

We offer exciting programs in the fields of Composition, Reading, Literature, Creative Writing, and the Humanities.  Our courses help students achieve their occupational and transfer goals by enhancing students' critical thinking skills through the practice of writing and reading.

The GCC English Division also offers many valuable student support services. The Learning and Writing Center offers free one-on-one tutoring sessions for GCC students, while the friendly English lab staff provides students with access to computer technology crucial for successful research and essay writing. Freshmen entering GCC for the first time can benefit from the Freshman Seminar Program which pairs composition or ESL courses with Student Development 101, a class that maximizes student study skills. Finally, English majors are encouraged to participate in the English Majors Transfer Program, the English Club, and the Faculty-Student Book Club.
