| CAMPUS SUMMARY | ||||
| Gavilan College was established in 1919 as San Benito County Junior College and operated as such until 1963 when it changed both locations and names. The guiding spirit of the College is a commitment to excellence. Through leadership, planning and a pervasive spirit of optimism, we aspire to be an exemplary student-centered community college. Every aspect of the Gavilan College campus and sites has been planned to emphasize this student-centered philosophy which had been adopted by both the board of trustees and the college staff. Located on 150 acres three miles south of the city of Gilroy, the Official Garlic Capital of the world, the college is set against the hills that form the western boundary of the Santa Clara Valley. Many live oak trees native to the area have been preserved and a series of ponds and waterfalls have been developed to emphasize a pleasant, tranquil setting. | ||||
