Myrthel, a business administration student who takes most of her classes at our York Campus, was advised to come to HACC by her cousin. As a mom of two kids managing family responsibilities, she said, “HACC would give different options that fit my schedule for studying.”

Please visit our website to read how Myrthel went from feeling anxiety to embracing learning.

Jacob, a HACC engineering student, said they were worried when they first came to HACC, but “after the first week I felt right at home with my peers.”  

After graduating, Jacob plans to transfer to Penn State and pursue a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.

Please visit our website to read more about Jacob. 

HACC students are committed to their education. Some come to HACC right after high school, while others decide to change careers or pursue a lifelong dream. HACC students are often not only students - they can also be parents, entrepreneurs, artists, veterans, advocates and more.   

We invite you to celebrate the hardworking students who are graduating at HACC’s spring 2023 Commencement ceremony on May 9 at 6 p.m. The ceremony will be held at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania and live-streamed on YouTube.

This spring, HACC art students will display their best works in two shows at the Rose Lehrman Art Gallery on the College’s Harrisburg Campus. 

The first show from April 3-14 featured photography, digital photo imaging, three-dimensional and two-dimensional design. A reception for the artists was held on April 13 from 5:30-7 p.m.

From April 20 through May 5, the gallery will feature graphic design, drawing, painting, glass, ceramics and jewelry works. A reception for the artists was held on April 27 from 5:30-7 p.m. 

Awards were presented during both receptions at 6 p.m.

Students submit hundreds of works for consideration. Art faculty jury the submissions and select the best works from each medium. 

All gallery events are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 11 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 5-7 p.m. on Tuesdays or Thursdays, or by appointment.
