Hello, HACC Hawks!

Welcome to the student newsletter. HACC is dedicated to providing news that matters most to you in an easy-to-read format. We will continue to share relevant information and keep you “in the know” as we serve and support you.

This newsletter is shared with all current HACC students.

Thank you!

How will HACC handle weather announcements during COVID-19?

If there is a weather announcement regarding campus closures, it will only affect employees and students approved to be on campus. All other remote work, remote instruction and virtual learning courses will continue as scheduled.

We will communicate directly to students and employees approved to be on a HACC campus. Therefore, we will not be distributing a collegewide e2Campus message. In addition, we will not notify the local media.

Instead, we will:

Update the hacc.edu website
Send an email to employees who are approved to be on campus
Send an email to students who are approved to be on campus
Post an announcement to the collegewide Facebook and Twitter accounts

Please see the “Weather Announcement Process During COVID-19” tab on hacc.edu/Weather for more information. Also, please remember to continue wearing your mask, washing your hands and staying safe and healthy. You are important!

HACC Gives Back to Central Pennsylvania Food Bank

On Oct. 8, 2020, HACC students; Wendy Brubaker, assistant director of student involvement; and Dr. Ski, HACC’s president and CEO, volunteered at the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.

“Volunteers are the lifeblood of the emergency food distribution network and we need your help now, more than ever, to be able to support our neighbors in need,” explained Chris Gray, volunteer and front warehouse manager at the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.

For four hours, students and staff packed 650 emergency food boxes for those in need at the Farm Show Complex, Central Pennsylvania Food Bank’s temporary emergency food packing center. These boxes will be shipped to distribution centers throughout HACC’s service region.

If you are interested in the next HACC Gives Back event, please contact Wendy Brubaker at wabrubak@hacc.edu.
