April 1, 2020 is Census Day and it is right around the corner. Your participation is encouraged and important; it is a civic duty. The goal of the Census is to count every person living in the United States, District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands).

You may ask questions like:

• Why should I participate?
• How and when can I participate?
• Is it safe and confidential?
• Who should I count?
• Why is it important to HACC and our students?

You can find answers to these questions, more information and resources at HACC and Census 2020. This link can also be found in MyHACC under the Employee tab and the Student tab.

This is the time to educate and inform students and your neighbors of the importance of the Census and encourage participation.
