Greetings, HACC supporters!
Greetings, HACC supporters!
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.
For the fall 2021 and spring 2022 semesters, HACC will be in phase four of the five-phased approach (pdf) to reopening our campuses.
Please note the following:
The College is open.
The outdoor spaces at all five campuses are open to the general public.
The public can park on our campuses and walk the campus grounds.
While on campus, all students, employees and visitors – even if they are fully vaccinated – will be required to wear face coverings. The College’s official guidance on mask expectations can be found here.
HACC’s buildings will remain closed to the general public.
HACC’s buildings are open only to authorized employees and all students who are (a) taking on-campus classes, (b) attending appointments on campus or (c) seeking on-campus services during scheduled on-campus office hours.
HACC does not require students or employees to be vaccinated at this time. Clinical sites are requiring vaccinations. Please visit hacc.edu/HealthCareersUpdate for more information.
Please contact foundation@hacc.edu if you have any questions or need additional information.
Thank you!

Meet Jason: Grateful for His Education
Meet Jason: Grateful for His Education
Helpful and knowledgeable professionals at HACC make it easier for students to adjust to college. Jason, a student in the Computer Networking Technology Program, said, “It was scary taking on college at my age, and in fields that I had no experience in. As soon as I spoke with my advisor and my professor, I knew they were the perfect fit for what I've been looking for.”
To hear more about Jason’s experiences, please watch this video.

Will You Help a HACC Student?
Will You Help a HACC Student?
Many HACC students are juggling work, classes and their families. Charitable gifts from our generous donors to HACC’s Funds for Excellence can make the difference between students dropping out or completing their education to make a better life. Please consider giving a gift – of any size - which could mean the world to a student, like Ricardo.
Please consider some of the following ways to help HACC students, like Ricardo:
Set a monthly recurring donation so you can feel the joy of helping a HACC student each month!
Mark your calendar to make a donation on Nov. 30 to be part of the worldwide #GivingTuesday movement.
Make a pledge to give a gift by breaking it into weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual contributions
Give a gift in honor or in memory of a loved one
P.S. – Did you know that donating to the HACC Foundation, which is a 501(c)(3) public charity, could have significant benefits for you? Please see the many ways to give to learn more!
