The GPC Alumni Association, originally established in 1970 as the DeKalb College Alumni Association, was reorganized in 1983. Its purpose is to unite graduates and other former students in support of the continued growth and development of the college and to promote the personal, educational and professional development of alumni. The Alumni Association currently awards a full-semester scholarship each spring semester, recognizes an outstanding faculty member each year and awards one alumnus the "Outstanding Alumnus Award" at Commencement.
