Recently, SolBridge students were treated to a special surprise when pins with “I Am GACCS” were handed out by Dean Jin-sung Kim during lunchtime. The pins, which were designed to foster school spirit, have a special meaning for all SolBridge students.

The pins, which feature the term GACCS, is what makes SolBridge special and unique. It is all a part of the school’s vision and mission which is educating the next generation of Asian Thought Leaders.
