The Gulf Coast State College Foundation recently hosted its second annual Board of Directors Retreat, bringing board members together for a day of meaningful collaboration and strategic planning in support of student success.
Held at the Gulf/Franklin Campus in Port St. Joe, the retreat provided an opportunity to tour the campus, hear directly from students, and engage with campus leadership, including Kristal Smallwood and Dr. Alexander Gile.
Building on the success of last year’s inaugural retreat, this year’s gathering fostered thoughtful discussion, fresh ideas, and a renewed commitment to the Foundation’s mission.
The day also included moments of connection and celebration, made even more special by generous contributions from local partners, reinforcing the strong community support behind our students and programs.
