Until 2015, HACC did have the ability to track alumni engagement, but will be able to measure alumni participation moving forward.

16. Engage various campus development teams to work collaboratively to improve resource development.

Campus and college fundraising goals met annually.

The Office of College Advancement (OCA) works hand-in-hand with campus leaders, the president, the Board of Trustees and the HACC Foundation Board to ensure that it meets its fundraising goals each year. Since 2012, OCA has created a collegewide fundraising system to ensure that no campus development silos exist. OCA has also created a comprehensive bank of collegewide fundraising forms and fundraising-related checklists and created an organized donormanagement system. As a result of these achievements, the HACC Foundation raised $2,210,401 in fiscal year 2012-13; $1,864,863 in fiscal year 2013-14; and $1,893,460 in fiscal year 2015-15.

17. Identify, implement, support and evaluate innovative use of technologies.

Software and hardware updates implemented and assessed; staff trained; support enhanced

In January 2014, HACC established the Academic Technologies department. Since January 2014, HACC has increased its faculty and staff training. In October 2014, HACC’s cabinet approved a three-year strategic technology plan. The Office of Information Systems and Technology (OIST) has improved its user support services by applying critical patches every two weeks to all missioncritical servers and services, refreshing the Banner development environment every three months and expanding support for Macintosh and other non-windows devices.

18. Enhance the college’s technology infrastructure.

Technology plan guides priorities.

In October 2014, HACC’s cabinet approved a three-year strategic technology plan. Since that time, OIST has expanded and improved the wide area network and internet connection at its Harrisburg Campus, implemented a new video bridging solution that allows for audio and video conferencing between campuses and reorganized its previous information technology structure.

19. Strengthen and improve the College’s commitment to sustainability.

Facilities master plan guides project priorities; college performance on the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in High Education’s Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STAR) ratings established.

HACC decided not to participate in the STARS program since the strategic plan was implemented. However, sustainability commitments, such as energy efficiency and financial savings, recycling and healthy food options for students and employees, are consistently promoted.

All campus master plans focus on sustainability. As a result, the College: · Recycled several tons of scrap metal; · Upgraded its fleet vehicles to fuel efficient models; · Implemented a reverse auction that saves $300,000 in energy costs over three years; · Reduced energy use by instituting a range of temperature settings; · Updated LED lighting; · Switched to H202 green cleaning products; · Earned a Silver Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), a green building certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, for the Sen. Jeffrey E. Piccola Law Enforcement Center; · Applied for Silver LEED certification for the Ted Lick Administration Building; Installed a geothermal system in the Ted Lick Administration Building; · Installed water filling stations at each campus.

Assessment Successes

Aimed at Improving Program Delivery 12

Over the last few years, colleges across the United States have been called upon to increase assessment activities to show students, funders and accreditors how well they are carrying out their educational mission. Of course, HACC welcomes the opportunity to improve its process for assessing its programs, courses and student learning.

As of June 30, 2015, HACC has completed more than one general education assessment cycle and the results have been tracked in TK20, the College’s assessment monitoring program that tracks general education assessment, program assessment and course assessment. HACC faculty have been building a positive culture for assessment by thinking differently about the assessment process and using strategic planning when creating assessments.

HACC has established a biannual Assessment Day, held in the fall and spring terms. Faculty use this day as an opportunity to ask questions, become more involved in the assessment process and learn to use quantitative measures to determine if a course is working rather than relying on qualitative measures. During this event, department chairs celebrate faculty who are doing well with assessment by nominating them for an assessment award. So far, five awards have been distributed.

As a result of assessment processes that are now a part of HACC’s culture, faculty are working together to develop curriculum and course objectives that can be consistently assessed across departments. Colleagues are working together to use shared evidence gathered in the assessment process to ensure that their courses are effective and support student success, particularly in courses with challenging concepts with which students often struggle. HACC has set benchmarks for success that will move the College forward in its continued efforts to remain the best choice for higher education for Central Pennsylvania residents.

Supporting Student 14

Success

Patrice Beittel, professor of counseling and pre-clinical nursing advisor, works with student Sarah Ressler.

According to Christine Nowik, HACC’s dean of student and academic success, it is vital for the College’s retention team to “show students the path from start to finish.” The goal is not only for students to start a degree, but to finish one, which is why HACC has been focusing on increasing student retention rates to ensure overall student success. In fall 2014, HACC:

• • • • •

Mandated orientation for first-time college students and standardized content across the College Mandated first-time college-student success courses Implemented at-risk student early intervention technology (StarFish) Began the process of reviewing student advising Began work on a male students of color initiative

It is expected that the full effects of virtually all of these strategies will be reflected in the 2015-16 academic year. Retention is a difficult metric to increase, but it is incredibly important and a true testament to the quality of the institution!

ESL at HACC

As an extension of HACC’s commitment to supporting student success, HACC offers state-of-the-art Englishas-a-second-language instruction. You can see what our ESL students have to say about their experience at HACC here.

New Leadership

Shepherds Transformation of Workforce Development and Continuing Education Division

18

The Workforce Development and Continuing Education Division began a transformation with the arrival Sept. 29, 2014, of Vic Rodgers as the associate provost. The re-named division has a mission to implement workforce development solutions to meet the needs of HACC’s five campuses and 10-county service region.

Rodgers defines workforce development simply as “problem solving” because “that’s what we do best. If the problem is a lack of skilled training by individuals seeking to better their lives, we create the best solution for them. If it’s a business that needs to give their employees additional training to remain competitive, we provide the training.”

Rodgers and his team partner with many sectors in the region to provide these services, including secondary and post-secondary schools, community leaders and economic development leadership. “The best thing we do, however, is sell the HACC experience. We believe that the education and training provided by HACC faculty and staff is the best in the commonwealth, and we make sure that everyone who touches our programs walks away with an experience that makes them want to keep coming back,” he said.

The reorganization of Workforce Development and Continuing Education began in January 2015 and includes these departments: HACC’s Adult Education Pathways Department offers a variety of options to help make obtaining an education easy for students, such as College and Career Readiness, Early Childhood Education, General Educational Development (GED) Preparation, the Language Institute offering English as a second language programs and Workplace Education. Whether an individual is looking to transition to college credit or training programs or are looking to enter the workforce and find employment, this department is here to help every step of the way. We make sure we provide a foundation of up-to-date skills to prepare our students for college or the workforce.

In addition to personal enrichment offerings, HACC’s Continuing Education Department has held focus groups with area human resource managers to determine needs in corporate and employee training.

HACC’s Healthcare Education Department offers an array of public training programs that provide students with the skills necessary to obtain interesting, entry-level positions in the careers needed by the region’s healthcare industry – many with salaries in excess of minimum wage. Among the programs are nurse aide, physician office assistant, pharmacy technician, cardiology technician, medical billing and coding specialist and massage therapy. The department partners with many organizations to offer customized training and continuing education programs as well.

HACC’s Industry Skills and Services Department includes four major areas: automotive, computers and information technology, manufacturing and production, and transportation. Each of these areas provides a variety of public and contract training offerings to fill the constant technical training needs of local industry.

Thousands of students are trained annually by the Sen. John J. Shumaker Public Safety Center in public safety disciplines ranging from law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services (EMS) to hazardous materials response, emergency management, incident management and disaster response. The 11-acre center includes North Hall, with extensive training grounds for hands-on experience, and the Sen. Jeffrey E. Piccola Law Enforcement Complex, a state-of-the-art law facility that supports municipal police officer training and training for probation and parole personnel and civilian handgun training.

Technology and Innovation

Improvements Better Serve Students, Employees

20

Over the past three years, HACC has been working to improve its technology and to better serve students and employees through innovative partnerships.

The Mobile Learning Project was a created to increase the number full iTunes U courses authored by HACC faculty from 12 to 24. Currently, there are 23 full iTunes U courses offered with additional courses on the way. HACC’s iTunes U courses include topics such as astronomy, computer information systems, English, math and nursing. Twelve faculty members have published courses on iTunes U. Pam Capwell, professor of mathematics, received excellent reviews on her Intermediate Algebra iTunes U course. One user stated that “these are by far some of the best lectures I have come across in the past three years (on any of the subjects I have taken). I can tell you truly want people to learn and understand what you are teaching!” Another user excitedly reported that she loves this professor: “She explains the inside steps that you might have forgotten to ensure you arrive with the right answer. Most of all, you can see that she actually WANTS you to succeed. The BEST math professor/teacher I have ever had, hands down.” iTunes U is allowing our excellent professors to not only help HACC students, but also to impact students around the world.

In order to further advance technology at HACC, the College’s Office of Information Systems and Technology (OIST) developed and implemented the Wireless Access Project. This goal was to provide 90 percent wireless access coverage on all five HACC campuses, and was successfully completed during summer 2014 after OIST staff installed 200 wireless access points collegewide.

HACC’s Evolution Academy and eVolution Studio is an intensive four-week training course that focuses on online teaching methods and effective online course design. After successful completion of eVolution Academy, HACC faculty complete the eVolution Studio, a hands-on lab experience that culminates with a capstone course demonstration for a fully online class. These courses are required for all HACC faculty who wish to teach online. As HACC offers more and more fully online programs, there is a need for faculty who can create and implement high-quality online courses. As such, the goal was to double the number of faculty attending eVolution Academy and eVolution Studio to ensure that faculty understand online pedagogy and have prepared an online course that meets key standards for best practices in online education.

“The eVolution Academy team of Suzanne O’Hop, Cynthia Schanke and David Wartell have created a stimulating and supportive environment for learning best practices in virtual pedagogy,” said Margaret Brandt, MFA, visual arts instructor. “The academy was wellorganized and well-managed. Feedback, grades and support were delivered quickly. The e-Book was interesting, interactive and tailored well to the course. Each week the information was chunked down nicely and delivered in a variety of virtual formats that encouraged thought, creativity and participation. This course opens the door to a large variety of educational recourses for any type of classroom. I would definitely recommend eVolution Academy to any of my colleagues.”

As online education becomes more popular, it is becoming more accepted by both students and faculty, which has led to increased faculty interest in becoming skilled at designing and delivering online courses.

The iTunes U course of Alfred Siha, Ed. D., was selected as one of the top 10 iTunes U courses of 2014. Siha was selected as an Apple Distinguished Educator during 2015 (a first for HACC).

Innovative Learning

Promoted in Collaborative Classrooms

22

Brett Stumphy, Ph.D., works with students in a collaborative classroom on the Lebanon Campus.

In 2014-15, HACC designed and implemented two collaborative classrooms on the Lebanon Campus and increased blended offerings in those classrooms. Blended courses allow students to complete coursework online and then come together in the classroom for further instruction and teamwork.

Jen Reb, academic advisor and accounting adjunct, has blended her Accounting 101 class. Her students read articles related to the theories in the chapters and watch demonstration videos of the practical application of the theories. “These online materials give the students the opportunity to pause, repeat or fast-forward based on their learning needs,” Reb said. For the classroom portion, students work in groups for additional practice and sometimes follow along as Reb uses SMART Notebook collaborative learning software that links to students’ personal devices to work through problems. Reb posts class demonstration videos online so students can view them for further clarification. According to Reb, students submit homework and complete exams online. The online portions of the exams are graded upon submission and feedback is immediately available for every question. Reb also has an iTunes U course that students can view and receive extra credit if they provide feedback.

In fall 2014, HACC offered blending training to faculty. This training will prepare more faculty to work in the new collaborative classrooms and offer students an interactive and exciting new HACC experience. HACC’s Lebanon Campus offered 16 blended courses in fall 2014 and 17 blended courses in spring 2015. HACC surveyed Lebanon Campus students who registered for at least one blended course and found of the 67 percent who completed the survey, most were happy with the course.

ACC continues efforts to offer students the most affordable education by offering a textbook rental program and e-book programs through the College’s bookstores.

The rental program began as a pilot in spring 2011. “We picked six of the more popular titles, offered those as rentals and rented just over 500 textbooks,” said Kyle DiBrito, director of college bookstores. “For the spring 2015 term, we had over 600 titles available as rentals and rented over 10,000 textbooks.” Since the start of fiscal year 2012, HACC students have saved more $2.5 million by renting textbooks instead of purchasing them.

“Student reaction to the HACC Bookstore textbook rental program has been incredible,” said Jayne Walsh, manager of the Lancaster Campus bookstore. “The HACC bookstores source rental pricing through the top three used-book wholesalers to maximize savings for our students.

All discounts are then passed on to the student. Is this time-consuming? Yes. Is this what your college-owned bookstores are prepared to do to keep costs down for our students? Yes.” In addition, the college bookstores started an e-book program in 2013, with $87,000 in e-books sold. The bookstores offer e-books through Jumpbooks and RedShelf.

The Overholt Bookstore on HACC’s Harrisburg Campus is one of five bookstores collegewide.

HACC is one of two community colleges nationwide to receive an active learning grant from Steelcase Education, an initiative that empowers educators to implement active learning strategies by leveraging classroom space.

HACC is among 12 schools and universities out of 540 applications that were chosen for their unique approaches to active learning.

This two-year grant, awarded in April 2015 and valued at $50,000 for furnishing and installation, allowed HACC to outfit a classroom at the Lancaster Campus for fall 2015 with active learning furniture that allows students to easily rearrange the classroom.

“

This grant allows HACC’s Lancaster Campus to model a classroom design that complements innovative teaching practices encouraged by faculty participation in HACC’s Centers for Innovation and Teaching Excellence (CITE) workshops and innovative online and blended learning training courses. HACC’s Lancaster Campus has the oldest and one of the most active CITEs of HACC’s five campuses. CITEs provide HACC innovative faculty training needed to achieve student success through active and collaborative learning.

As part of this grant, HACC will create eight, three-to-five-minute QuickTip videos demonstrating best practices in collaborative classrooms. The College will publish these videos on its own YouTube channel for both internal and external audiences.

“I try to design assignments that meet the learning outcomes for the course, but that also gives students the chance to learn something about themselves, too.”

In October 2014, HACC received a MentorLinks grant from the American Association of Community Colleges. This grant supports a mentor-mentee relationship between HACC’s geospatial technology program and the National Geospatial Technology Center for Excellence (GeoTech Center). The GeoTech Center has worked with HACC to improve its geospatial program and to expand its credit and noncredit offerings.

As a result of this partnership, HACC developed a new fully online course, “Exploring Our World: Fundamentals of Geospatial Science.” This is an eight-week course that introduces fundamental concepts of geospatial analysis and map interpretation, including technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning system (GPS), cartography, remote sensing, geo-visualization and interpretation, internet mapping and spatial statistics. Digital badges (micro-credentials) will be awarded for successful completion of the course modules.

Developmental Math Redesign Project Continues

32

+

“The developmental mathematics redesign project has been a work-in-progress over many years with many contribution ideas,” said Elizabeth Dunn, department chair of mathematics and computer sciences. “Our goals, of course, are centered around our students’ success. To that end, we are working to find or develop an accurate placement tool or tools; to additionally support our students through refresher courses and remediation; to provide students an accelerated, focused path through developmental and into college-level courses; and to increase student retention and student success rates.”

The existing developmental math sequence contains three, 14-week courses for a total of 10 credits. This means a student who places in the lowest developmental math course will spend a minimum of 42 weeks in the sequence. The new developmental sequence will still total 10 credits but with five, seven-week courses so that a student who places in the lowest developmental math course could spend only 21 weeks in the sequence. The courses in the new sequence are grouped into topics and more focused.

In January 2015, Dunn was awarded $16,500 from the HACC Strategic Planning Funds that allowed the faculty to continue developing tests and exit exams, choosing a new text, developing supplemental materials, and developing course outlines.

With the guidance of HACC’s grants and corporate relations team, in April 2015, Dunn and math professors Mary Brown, Mary Harris and Allison Kraft successfully applied for and was granted $16,000 by the Whitaker Fund for Science and Math, a fund of The Foundation for Enhancing Communities. This project will improve outcomes for students who test into or below developmental mathematics courses at HACC’s Harrisburg Campus. Improved success in developmental math will lead students to success in programs that prepare them for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), nursing, medical technology and computer programming careers.

New Branding and Marketing Further Recruitment Efforts

34

During 2014-15, HACC’s Office of College Advancement (OCA) was busy working to ensure that HACC is known as the best deal in higher education in Central Pennsylvania. To support this endeavor, OCA was engaged in the following initiatives:

HACC welcomed a new partner, TWG Plus, to assist in marketing

the College to increase enrollment. TWG Plus was hired in December 2014 following a thorough and comprehensive request for proposal (RFP) process.

The firm assists OCA with conducting research with the College’s primary target audiences in terms of student recruitment and marketing; determining potential enrollment growth based on the target audiences; identifying where and how the College should market to the target audiences; and developing the College’s marketing deliverables, including brochures, print ads, radio ads, TV ads and postcards.

OCA continued building upon the new brand and tactics used to communicate to the College’s target audiences. OCA developed a robust 2014-15 marketing plan that were designed to increase awareness of HACC’s programs, initiatives and services; educate future students of the value, outcomes and benefits of HACC; and improve communication to current students increase enrollment.

HACC fine-tuned its marketing efforts to target junior and senior high school students, parents, current students, nontraditional students (age 25-34) and veterans and active military. To ensure that the tactics were effective, OCA targeted the tactic and message based on the audience, used storytelling and real student images in its materials and communicated with multiple tactics to tell the HACC and students’ stories.

The College used multiple tactics, or types of communication

materials, to reach our target audiences, such as billboards; email blasts; fliers; postcards; posters; social media; videos; Facebook, newspaper, radio, television and Pandora advertising; and the College’s website and webslides on the College’s homepage.

In addition to existing monthly columns published in the Gettysburg Times and Evening Sun in Hanover, OCA secured commitments from two Central Pennsylvania media outlets to publish bi-monthly columns from Dr. Ski and commitments from two other media outlets as a regular contributor of op-ed pieces. The columns are targeted for 2016.

HACC increased social media engagement by using interactive

language and encouraging others to create conversation. HACC’s collegewide Facebook page has increased its likes by more than 1,600 in one year. Additionally, from December 2014 to June 2015, HACC’s Twitter page has grown an average of 76 followers per month.

HACC started a video series featuring Dr. Ski, who is well-known

in the community and among the media. These videos may promote the College, new programs, upcoming events, legislative issues and more and are shared in news releases, social media and other communications tools.

Over the last year, OCA has modified its marketing strategies and tactics to better leverage our limited resources. Various metrics demonstrate that we are getting students “to the door.” According to a June 25, 2015, report from Genita Mangum, registrar and interim dean of enrollment services, the applications for admissions increased by approximately 31 percent compared to fall 2014 to fall 2015.

Alumni Engagement

The Office of College Advancement has implemented several programs that encourage more alumni participation at HACC. Established in April 2014, the Alumni Ambassador Network is an online network of alumni who have agreed to be available when HACC needs help. To date, 210 alumni have signed up. In 2014-15, alumni spoke to an English 101 class, volunteered to be scholarship reviewers for the HACC Foundation, helped with fall and spring Commencement and participated in Twitter Chats, a panel discussion and a career seminar.

Sixty-one alumni have volunteered to be a part of the online student-alumni career mentoring program through College Central Network that started in January 2015. Alumni mentors share their professional knowledge and experience with current students interested in their field, creating a lasting impact without a large time commitment.

Alumni athletes have returned to HACC to compete against current HACC students. On Aug. 23, 2014, more than 20 alumni athletes took on HACC’s men’s soccer team and then celebrated a good game by sharing in a barbecue. On Jan. 3, 2015, 16 alumni athletes took on HACC’s men’s and women’s basketball teams before enjoying a reception. The hard-fought battles resulted in victories for the alumni!

Sixteen alumni athletes took on HACC’s men’s and women’s basketball teams on Jan. 3, 2015, for the College’s first alumni basketball games at the Evans gym on the Harrisburg Campus.

HACC’s first class and their guests enjoy lunch in the Rose Lehrman Arts Center’s rose garden.

On Sept. 19, 2014, the HACC Alumni Association held a reunion for 18 members of the College’s first class and their guests. The group, who began classes in September 1964, enjoyed a walking tour of the Harrisburg Campus and a catered lunch in the rose garden behind the Rose Lehrman Arts Center before being honored at Convocation, which celebrated HACC’s 50th anniversary.

HACC Alumni Recognized

for Making a Difference

38

Pictured from left are HACC 2014-15 distinguished alumni recipients Sherry Capello, Brian Hudson Sr., Destini Hodges, Daniel J. Benny, Gary Laabs, Donald Enders Jr., John Bowman and Kathy Verna who are joined by HACC President John J. “Ski” Sygielski, Ed.D.

The HACC Alumni Association’s Circle of Distinction grew by eight in 2014-15. HACC’s sixth annual awards dinner to celebrate these outstanding individuals was held June 6, 2015, at the York Campus.

The 2014-15 distinguished alumni were Daniel J. Benny, John M. Bowman, Sherry L. Capello, Donald E. Enders Jr., Destini Y. Hodges, Brian A. Hudson Sr., Gary Laabs and Kathy M. Verna.

Distinguished Alumni are chosen because, as a result of their commitment and hard work, they embody the HACC “spirit” and serve as an inspiration to other alumni and all students. Their success is measured by the impact they have made – and continue to make – in the HACC community and in their personal lives.

Daniel J. Benny, Ph.D.

“Because of HACC, I was able to focus on my professional goals and gained the knowledge I needed to obtain my first security management position. HACC was a great place to start, and I am forever grateful for the foundation it gave me.”

John M. Bowman

“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.”

39

Sherry L. Capello

“One critical memory from college was during my first year in an economics class. The 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. Thank you, HACC! Thank you, educators.”

Destini Y. Hodges

“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.”

Gary Laabs

“HACC allows individuals to improve both personally and professionally. HACC attendance benefits the individual, his or her employer and the community. This is why I am passionate about HACC.”

40

Donald E. Enders Jr.

“My love of history and business was nurtured at HACC. I believe I have received an excellent education at HACC. From high school students, to individuals seeking a new career path, to retirees having a desire to learn for learning’s sake, I am always excited to promote HACC as a valuable resource within our community!”

Brian A. Hudson Sr.

“HACC provided a great education at a very reasonable cost. I was an accounting major and the advice and encouragement I received from Mike Uranic, my professor, and Mr. Ritchey, my counselor, inspired me to become a certified public accountant.”

Kathy M. Verna

“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.”

New “Hawks”

Accepted to HACC’s Athletic Hall of Fame 41

HACC hosted its third annual Hawk Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Jan. 17, 2015, inducting four alumni during halftime at the men’s basketball game against Montgomery County Community College.

Karen MorrisPriester, M.D., Returns to Celebrate HACC’s 50th Anniversary

46

Dr. Karen Morris-Priester inspired the HACC Community at the College’s Golden Anniversary Gala.

Karen Morris-Priester, M.D., a 1996 graduate of HACC’s nursing program, is now an anesthesiologist at Coordinated Health in Allentown, Pennsylvania. In 2007, she gained national recognition as the first grandmother to graduate from the Yale School of Medicine.

Dr. Morris-Priester grew up in Harrisburg’s housing projects and was educated in the Harrisburg School District. She planned to be the first in her family to attend college, but a pregnancy at the age of 16 stalled those plans. Instead, she married and had four more children.

In 1992, then a single mother working full time, Dr. Morris-Priester entered the nursing program at HACC. She graduated summa cum laude before enrolling in York College of Pennsylvania, where she graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing in 2002.

Next, Dr. Morris-Priester pursued her dream of attending Yale. After graduating from Yale, she completed her internship at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, and then moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where she completed her anesthesia residency at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a Harvard-affiliated residency program.

HACC is proud to count Dr. Morris-Priester among our graduates. Among the accolades she has received are the Yale School of Medicine’s Dean’s Prize for Community Service, HACC’s Distinguished Alumni Award and York College of Pennsylvania’s Alumni Professional Excellence Award. She was honored by Oprah Winfrey on her “Cheers to You Extravaganza” episode in 2007. During this show, Winfrey announced that she had made arrangements to pay off Dr. Morris-Priester’s student loans and that a scholarship had been established in her honor.

Dr. Morris-Priester joined HACC students, employees and supporters at HACC’s Golden Anniversary Gala in October 2014. At the Gala, she told her story and inspired students to continue their hard work and encouraged faculty, staff and donors to continue the work that they do every day to support HACC’s superstars in the making.

Scholar and Donor Event

Highlights

54

At HACC, we value the contributions of our donors and we know our students do, too. What better way to share in the warm glow of success than to bring our donors and students together to celebrate, support and give thanks?

In 2014-15, all HACC campuses hosted donor and student recognition receptions. The events focused on thanking HACC’s donors for their generosity and congratulating scholarship recipients. The HACC Foundation invited donors who contributed more than $100 to the HACC Foundation in the prior academic year.

At each campus event, students spoke about the difference that HACC Foundation scholarships have made in their lives.

At the Gettysburg Campus, Robert “Tony” Myers shared his story of overcoming obstacles and returning to HACC as an adult student. Tony, a Social Services major, was a recipient of the Gettysburg Campus Opportunity and Access Scholarship.

At the Harrisburg Campus, Nicole Brand offered her sincere gratitude to everyone who contributes to the HACC Foundation for changing lives. Nicole is a member of the College’s Honors Society, Phi Theta Kappa and is studying nursing. Nicole received several scholarships, including the J. George Theobald Memorial Scholarship and the Board of Trustees Scholarship.

At the Lancaster Campus, Aura Tremellen reminded donors that because of their generosity, students like Aura can focus on achieving their educational goals. Aura is a nursing major and works part-time as a Library Student Assistant. Aura received the Lancaster Campus Annual Scholarship and the Board of Trustees Scholarship.

At the Lebanon Campus, Cyrus Cramer moved the audience by telling an honest account of his journey to HACC. Cyrus is a psychology major and a member of the College’s Honor Society, Phi Theta Kappa. Cyrus received the Hershey Company Scholarship.

At the York Campus, Ronald Sexton inspired donors, faculty and staff with his story of determination and perseverance. Ronald graduated in May 2015 with a degree in Social Sciences and transferred to Millersville University to complete his four-year degree.

Ronald received the York Campus Opportunity and Access Scholarship.

Donors at each campus shared why they choose to support HACC and contribute to the HACC Foundation.

At the Gettysburg Campus, Mary Hammann spoke on behalf of her family to honor her sister, Becca. The Hammann family created the Becca Hammann Memorial Scholarship to provide assistance to a student at the Gettysburg Campus. Preference is given to students in science degree programs, to honor Becca’s career as a science teacher.

At the Harrisburg Campus, Richard and Susan Harley shared their story of dedication to support upcoming future nurses in the Harrisburg area. The scholarship endowment Richard and Susan created has changed the lives of more than 29 students at the Harrisburg Campus.

At the Lancaster Campus, Troy Richardson reminded donors and current students on the impact they can have and how they can use their success to help others. Troy is a member of HACC’s Alumni Council and graduated from HACC.

At the Lebanon Campus, Kenny Montijo, the executive director of the United Way of Lebanon County, explained how he was supported when he attended HACC and why he now supports HACC as a member of the Lebanon community.

At the York Campus, Glenn Caufman explained, as an educator in the York community for several years, why he knew he and his wife wanted to support HACC’s mission. He and his wife, Sandy Caufman, created the Sandy and Glenn Caufman Scholarship Award to support students at HACC’s York Campus.

Last year, HACC’s benefactors invested nearly $2 million in HACC for scholarships, academic programs and state-of-the-art lab equipment. Their investments are also helping to build an educated, skilled workforce for communities across Central Pennsylvania.

Images from each campus celebration can be seen on HACC’s Flickr page: flickr.com/photos/hacc/sets

“There is not a better educational value in the area. You will enter an excellent and supportive learning environment that is recognized nationwide.”
