National Clean Out Your Computer Day is observed on the second Monday in February. It promotes taking some timeout of your day to do some basic housekeeping on your computer by deleting old and unused files. Cleaning a computer is a great way to speed it up, find files more quickly, and prevent pesky viruses and spyware from taking control of the hard drive.
Here are some simple, easy tips that will help clean up your computer, Feb. 12, 2024:
Remove those unused files. Those files are taking up space on your hard drive and can make your computer slower. Go ahead and throw them in the trash bin
Uninstall old software. If you no longer use or need the software, you can go ahead and uninstall it. You can free up more space and help your computer run faster.
Empty out the trash or recycle bin. Even though you deleted the unused files, they clog up the recycle bin. Emptying it occasionally will improve your computer speed.
Back up important files. Backups can help protect from human errors, viral attacks and hardware issues.
Do a virus scan. When you download things from the internet, there is always a chance of a virus being attached to the files. The best way to protect your computer is to run a virus-scanning program just to be on the safe side.
Did you know your computer, on average, has more germs than a public restroom? Wipe down your computer and accessories like the keyboard and mouse to make them safer.

Are You Eligible for a Tuition Discount Because of Where You Live?
Are You Eligible for a Tuition Discount Because of Where You Live?
Did you know that HACC has an agreement with 22 school districts to provide discounted tuition to students living within their district? These school districts have agreed to pay a portion of your tuition if you have lived in their school district for at least a year- even if you did not attend high school in that area. All you have to do to receive the discounted tuition rate is to work with the school district to prove your residency by submitting a valid Certificate of Residence. Please note, that students who are already paying reduced Dual Enrollment (DE) and/or College in the High School (CHS) rates are not eligible. To learn more:
Click here to find out whether or not your school is a participating school district.
If your school district is listed, follow the instructions to complete and submit the Certificate of Residence application or call the phone number listed under your school district to get instructions from your district's representative.
Confirm that the credit has been applied to your bill. There will be a waiting period to allow for processing between submitting your application and HACC receiving it. Once your application is processed, the credit will appear on your bill. Questions can be directed to the One Stop Welcome Center.
Renew your Certificate of Residence annually after July 1 for the following fall, winter, spring and summer.

The flexibility of the job made it easy to find the balance between work life and school life.

Mixed Media Sculpture Exhibition ‘MET IN ME’
Mixed Media Sculpture Exhibition ‘MET IN ME’
at HACC
at HACC
HARRISBURG, Pa. – HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, will display the work of interdisciplinary Artist and educator Kourtney Stone in the Rose Lehrman Art Gallery Now – Feb. 9, 2024.
Originally from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Kourtney attended Maryland Institute College of Art, earning her B.F.A. in Ceramics and M.A. in Teaching. She stayed in the Baltimore area, working as a high school art teacher and grade dean and exhibiting her artwork. She also served as a board member of the Clay Connection. Kourtney studied at Georgia State University, completing her M.F.A. in Studio Art, specializing in ceramics in 2021. After this, she served as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Indiana University in Bloomington. Kourtney has presented at the Mid-Atlantic Clay Conference, NCECA and the Figurative Association Symposium. She taught National workshops at the Appalachian Center for Craft and Arrowmont. Kourtney has been a resident artist at Baltimore Clayworks, Arrowmont’s Pentaculum and Watershed. She is currently working as an assistant professor at Harrisburg Area Community College.
Kourtney Stone’s ideas are primarily informed by research and her own family history. She stated, “Our identities are rooted in our experiences and what we tell ourselves about those experiences.” Through the composition of multiple sculptural elements and juxtaposition of different materials, she contemplates our constructions of the past and present: family mythologies, autobiographical narratives, and her impressions of current relationships.
Her artist statement says, “Memory is a powerful, yet paradoxical, thing. Fragmented and mutable, its pliability causes us to question the truthfulness of personal narratives and family mythologies.” Kourtney’s assemblage sculptures are meditations on the nature of memory and how we construct stories about our lived experiences. By intertwining found and sculpted objects, she invites viewers to indulge in the human tendency to seek relationships between disparate elements. Each viewer’s mind builds imaginary relationships among the objects, which mirrors the plurality of truths embedded within a single memory.
