Do you remember your first semester at HACC? Were you nervous or overwhelmed? Do you want to help students turn their nerves into excitement and energy? Are you excited to share your story and what you have learned? Would you like to do all of this and develop your leadership skills, make new friends and get involved with the HACC community?

Learn why HAWKGuide and recent HACC graduate McKenzie Hall loved working with the NSO team:

“Being a student worker for the New Student Orientation team has helped me build interpersonal skills and leadership qualities. The greatest gift I received from the NSO team was their amazing support and encouragement throughout my educational journey. The flexibility of the job made it easy to find the balance between work life and school life. It was a pleasure meeting and working with Nakia, Ayelet, and Jenny as well as the other departments here at HACC, and the students that I had the opportunity to mentor.”

Have you heard? The Office of College Advancement (OCA) is working on a new www.hacc.edu website! The project kicked off in 2022 and is currently near the end of phase I. This phase includes creating, distributing and awarding a request for proposal (RFP) for user testing and website design completing various methods of user testing; and designing three different possible layouts for the new website.

The following are some findings of the recently completed user testing about the current website:

• • Feels bland and out of date

  • Contains too much content

  • Contains great career and salary information

  • Has a great program finder on the homepage

This summer, the project moved into the design phase. OCA will be releasing three different website designs for your vote! Stay tuned so you can vote for YOUR favorite design!

The Harrisburg and Lancaster campuses have dedicated interfaith prayer rooms. These rooms are open to all students and employees of all faiths for prayer and meditation.

How to Prepare for Career Connections Weeks

The best way to prepare for Career Connections Weeks is to view the events on HACC’s Career Services Events webpage which is updated every semester OR you may log in to your student College Central Network (CCN) account to also see some of the posted events. If you haven’t activated your CCN account yet, watch the video.

If you plan to attend any Career and Internship Fairs, please make an appointment with a Career Education Advisor in advance (if possible) to update your resume. This way you can provide one to employers of your choice or at least be able to provide them with an electronic copy. Don’t fret because you can still speak to employers and ask questions without having a resume handy as well!  Speaking of asking questions, come prepared after searching through the employers, speakers and/or presenters with a short list of questions to ask at any of the fairs (email us for some sample questions as well!).

You may either pre-register (via Navigate or email us) for an event or just arrive to participate. See you there! 

For more information about Career Connections Weeks events, email careerservices@hacc.edu for assistance.
