Greetings, HACC supporters!

Women's History Month is a celebration of women who have paved the way in the fight for women's rights and equality. It is also in fond recognition of women who continue to fight for other women to receive equal pay and affordable childcare and be seen as valuable contributors to our society. Here at HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College, we celebrate the contributions and excellence that women bring to the HACC community and the world at large. Together, through education, we will promote a world where all women are seen, heard and valued.

Donors’ Impact on Academic Programs

HACC Foundation Donors Fund a FLEX Classroom

HACC Foundation donors provided funding for the Lancaster Campus FLEX Classroom project.

This funding enabled the College to build a FLEX classroom that provides the best learning environment for both in-person and remotely connected students - simultaneously. This classroom is equipped with a camera that allows for teaching from different angles in the classroom and tracks instructors as they roam across the front of the room. It is equipped with a microphone that captures audio from all classroom participants and includes a large display so that the instructor can see the remotely connected students from anywhere in the room. Additionally, there is a student-facing camera that allows remotely connected students to see the classroom as well as in-person students.

By creating this high-tech classroom, HACC can now provide instruction on multiple platforms and facilitate an easier transition for faculty. They are now able to adapt their classes to incorporate in-person and remote students into the same class.
