Welcome to Great Basin College!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Based on information we just received from our supplier we have been notified that they can not guarantee the safety of the eclipse glasses GBC was providing for the event. Based on this information we have made the decision to cancel the Eclipse Viewing scheduled for Monday, August 21st. We regret the inconvenience this causes, but feel we must error on the side of caution.
