Scores of students, graduates and supporters turned out Friday for the 10th anniversary of Gateway to College, held at the Cascade Campus of Portland Community College.
Gateway to College began as PCC’s program to assist high school drop-outs obtain their GEDs and associates degrees. From there, it spun off into its own independent organization now serving students in several states.
