Due to the impending snowstorm, the Georgian Court University Lakewood campus will operate virtually all day Sunday and Monday 1/25/2026 and 1/26/2026. University offices, including the library, will also operate virtually. Classes will continue online to the degree possible. Students should consult Blackboard Learn for details. For in-person classes not held at the Georgian Court campus in Lakewood, GCU classes will comply with the cancellation/closure decision of the location where classes are held.

Raymond Hall Dining Room will be open 10am – 2pm and 4pm – 6pm both days. The Cafe will be closed both days. The Fitness Center (for resident students) is planning to be open 11am – 4pm on Sunday and 11am to 1pm and 5pm to 10pm on Monday, depending on storm conditions and staffing availability.

Vamos

VAMOS, our cohort program for those interested in Latinx culture, is one of the many ways Georgian Court University invests in you so that you can invest in yourself and in the community. Together, that’s how we change the world.

Changing the world
is in our DNA

The Sisters of Mercy, the founders of Georgian Court, believe in the power of education to meet the needs of the community. VAMOS takes that same approach and prepares you to meet the needs of the future.

Why VAMOS?

Get going now!

 Pursue your degree with people who want a multicultural experience. VAMOS takes a cohort approach. That means you will learn with a group of peers and join a community of students who take carefully planned courses designed to help you meet your goals.

 Get dedicated academic support from GCU faculty and staff and participate in 12 workshops offered through Avanzando, a program created by UnidosUS.  These workshops provide the necessary tools and support to navigate and graduate from college.

Experience the power of mentoring and networking with Latinx scholars and professionals, as well as other supporters.
