From the Board of Trustees

At our last meeting on May 8, the Gavilan College Board of Trustees authorized an agreement to purchase land in San Benito County, following a search of over two years. If it meets with state approval, these 80 acres at the corner of Fairview Road and Airline Highway in Hollister may someday become a college campus.

We thank district voters who approved Bond Measure E in March 2004, which provided the funds. Our study of projected growth in the area for the next 30 years, combined with comments from the community helped us to make an important decision. We considered the needs of the future, our significant responsibility to provide for the educational needs of many generations of students. We determined that San Benito County would eventually need, not just a satellite site, but a full-service college campus.      continue

Logo Survey!

The Gavilan College log (at left) was designed in the early 1970's. Many people don't realize that it is meant to represent a hawk ("Gavilan" is Spanish for hawk) over a stylized letter G. It is very close in concept and appearance to the logo for the town of Pajaro!

We have the opportunity now to make changes to this logo. For example, we can make the bird look more like a hawk; we can replace the letter "G" with hills.
