“Don't underestimate the value of education through a community college.”
“My academic experience at HACC was among the best experiences that I have had throughout my many years of attending higher education institutions.”
“[I] learned fascinating new things and met many great professors and instructors.”
“HACC provided a great education at a very reasonable cost.”
“I attribute my success to having found myself at HACC and having received the support I needed as a new student and a newcomer to the country.”
“HACC is a crucial part of allowing students like me to pursue their dreams. I would have never gone on to become a physician if I hadn't had the opportunity to start my education at HACC. I had been out of high school for over 10 years and with working fulltime and raising a family, I never would have had the courage or ability to attend a four-year college. HACC makes education affordable.”
“The professors, counselors and staff provided a safe and welcoming environment no matter your culture, sex, age or one's personal values or views.”
“I can't imagine where this area would be without HACC. Because of HACC's locations and affordability and excellent quality of education, many individuals have been able to realize a dream that would not have occurred without the community college.”
“My education at HACC was the cornerstone necessary for my successful climb into the corporate world.”
“HACC is an educational institution for all ages and all generations. It has been part of our community since 1964 and first touched me through my aunt, Jean Hintermyer, a 1969 HACC graduate. HACC’s faculty members are part of our community and the real-world work experience brought to the classroom through our adjunct faculty is exceptional.”
“HACC prepared me for a memorable career in law enforcement. I was able to form a close bond with the faculty and students at the Lancaster Campus that continues today.”
“I attribute my success to having found myself at HACC and having received the support I needed.”
“[My] professor told us that we should not automatically accept what is told to us. We have our own minds. We can educate ourselves and develop our own informed decisions. That moment changed how I looked at everything in my life."
“Attending HACC was a life-changing event for me. I gained the communication and leadership skills that are helping me be a more effective public administrator and involved member of my community.”
“HACC’s professors and staff are deeply invested in the culture of student learning. I would not exchange or give away the values and lessons I learned here at HACC. HACC is a beacon of light in Harrisburg, and all students should deeply consider letting HACC be their first choice for a quality and accessible higher education opportunity"
"HACC attendance benefits the individual, his or her employer and the community"
“I was 17 when I went to HACC, and my classes were filled with older students. It was really good for me because it gave a different perspective. HACC was probably the best learning experience I had.”
“One has a vision of what college kids look like, but at HACC you see people who are the same age range or ethnic background as you. You feel like you belong. At HACC, I always had the sense that the instructors were willing to do what was needed to help you succeed.”
