Quote from the President

“HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, has long been one of the driving forces in south-central Pennsylvania. Annually, we serve more than 75,000 individuals within the region from five physical campuses and a very robust virtual campus. And we enjoy phenomenal community support in every one of our host cities. What’s more, we are known and appreciated as the leader in credit and noncredit workforce development in the region—something which the college and our communities view with great pride.”
