Grays Harbor College increasing in-person operations

Grays Harbor College will reopen the Hillier Union Building (HUB) for in-person student support services beginning Monday, Aug. 16, the school announced Tuesday.

Because the college is closed to the public on Fridays during the summer, the hours for most services will be 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday through Sept. 3.

College staff will host a “Welcome Back” booth between the library and HUB on the Aberdeen campus from 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Aug. 16-18. Booth visitors will be eligible for daily drawings and other swag.

Additionally, the Harbor Landing Food Pantry, temporarily located in the HUB, is open Tuesdays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The pantry is open to students and community members.

Grays Harbor College will offer on-campus, online, and hybrid — a combination on-campus and online — classes when fall quarter begins Sept. 20. More information about classes is available at classes.ghc.edu. Application information is available at ghc.edu/admissions or by calling 360-532-9020.
