Syllabus Statements

To help faculty promote equity for our diverse student population and introduce students to library resources (high-quality information sources offered free to all GC students, faculty, and staff), we have developed sample statements that can be included in syllabi. 

We also encourage faculty to contact the library to learn more about the resources to support student success relevant to their course.
