Message from Dr. Ski

Dr. Ski at the podium “Discovering Our Strength,” the theme of the 2021-22 Annual Report by HACC and the HACC Foundation, captures the essence of our determination to provide experiences that are meaningful and productive for our community, our employees and, above all, our students.

During this time, we embraced the uncertainties and challenges with collaboration, forward-thinking and a passion to provide a diverse, inclusive and belonging community for the students we serve and our colleagues.

We also reflected on the accomplishments of the College’s 2019-22 Strategic Plan – One College, Uniting for Success – and began to put the finishing touches on our 2022-25 Strategic Plan - Pathways to Success.

Some highlights of this report include: 

A new Anatomage table, an advanced 3D anatomy visualization and virtual dissection tool, was purchased for use by all EMS certification courses (EMT, Advanced EMT, Paramedic, PHRN, Critical Care) as well as continuing education programs.

HACC partnered with the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design to improve opportunities for students exploring creative careers. 

In fall 2021, the PNC Foundation awarded a $112,500, grant to the HACC Foundation that will provide full-ride scholarships for Black students enrolled in HACC’s Police Academy or Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program.

HACC proudly established the Consultation, Advocacy, Referrals and Empowerment (CARE) Center as a comprehensive stop where students can go for assistance with nonacademic challenges. This is a free resource available to all current HACC students.

Please read on for more insight into “Discovering Our Strength” in this 2021-22 Annual Report.

Thank you!
