Greetings, HACC supporters!
July is National Culinary Arts Month. This month is set aside to recognize cooks and chefs who bring delicious cuisine to our tables. Innovatively YOURS, the HACC Culinary Arts program, provides students with hands-on learning opportunities in our on-campus labs and off-campus commercial food and beverage operations that are open to the public.
Thanks to a grant from the HACC Foundation, the program will benefit from the creation of a premier culinary demonstration kitchen. The kitchen will help instructors make cooking accessible as they demonstrate delicious recipes and menus in support of the culinary and baking programs student experience.
Welcome to our newsletter, HACC Yeah®! News
We will continue to share relevant information and keep you “in the know” as we serve and support HACC students.
In this difficult time, we want to share with you the ways HACC and the HACC Foundation are doing our part during the global coronavirus pandemic. Please visit hacc.edu/Coronavirus for more information.

HACC Alumnus Establishes Nursing Scholarship
HACC Alumnus Establishes Nursing Scholarship
The Nursing Program at HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, began in 1969 with 28 students. Today, almost one out of five HACC students are enrolled in that program. HACC alumnus Dan Miller and family have chosen to honor his late wife’s memory by establishing the Deborah K. Levan "Debbi" Miller Memorial Nursing Scholarship Fund.
Mr. Miller attended HACC utilizing the GI Bill in the early 1980s. Upon graduation, Mr. Miller attended Temple University and obtained a journalism degree. He met his future wife, Debbi, through a mutual friend in spring 1988.
Debbi was a single parent when she decided to pursue a nursing degree from HACC. She graduated and worked in the field for over 40 years until her death in March 2022. Mrs. Miller spent her life caring for and about other people.
“HACC nursing students are amazing. There is no greater investment than in people – especially those who are trained to care for us medically. This new scholarship will help students achieve their dreams,” Linnie Carter, Ph.D. APR, HACC’s vice president of college advancement and executive director of the HACC Foundation, said.
Interested students should visit www.hacc.edu/scholarships to apply for this and other scholarships.
