“Who are we?” “GCPC.” “Who are we?!” “GCPC!” “WHO ARE WE??” “GCPC!!!” This call-and-response can be heard at the end of every home football game, on the baseball field late on Monday nights, on the Saint Lawrence Family Field every Tuesday and Thursday, every All College Hike, and every Homecoming Pep Rally.
