HACC Foundation donors provided funding to purchase Commencement ceremony regalia for HACC students facing financial barriers. Thanks to this support, students were able to obtain caps and gowns for the spring 2024, fall 2025 and spring 2025 Commencement ceremonies without added financial stress.
In addition, some students received stoles that reflected their academic achievements, cultural heritage, military service and personal journeys. For many graduates, these stoles carried deep meaning, symbolizing their accomplishments and connection to HACC.
Commencement is more than a celebration of academic success. It is a time to honor resilience, hard work and the pursuit of a better future. With the generosity of HACC Foundation donors, the College remains committed to reaffirming that HACC’s students are supported, valued and central to its mission and success.
