John J. “Ski” Sygielski, MBA, Ed.D., president and CEO of HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, is dedicated to HACC’s students and the HACC community.

From July 8-10, 2025, Dr. Ski biked across Central Pennsylvania to visit community partners, commemorate his retirement and raise funds for the John J. "SKI" Sygielski and Steve Perrault Scholarship Endowment Fund.

Along his journey, Dr. Ski traveled 213 miles and raised $15,089 for HACC students. #HACCyeah!

The funds raised for the John J. "SKI" Sygielski and Steve Perrault Scholarship Endowment Fund will support students with unmet financial needs and make an impact in the College's service regions with the lowest education attainment rates and highest unemployment rates.
