|  At
the dawn of this new millennium, Hagerstown Community College (HCC)
has both a revitalized mission and a new vision that are squarely
focused on both student and community success. Our “open door”
invites all who can benefit from our courses, programs and services
to let us help them use education to make a positive difference
in their lives.
HCC is proud to be Maryland’s first community college. Since
1946, we have maintained a talented and very student centered faculty
and staff, a diversified and high quality curriculum that is ever
changing to match our dynamic world, and a wide variety of student
and community services to match the needs and interests of our service
region. We are especially pleased that an increasing number of campus
volunteers like you have chosen to give HCC the benefit of your
skills, experience, and valuable time. We are very proud to be the
“community’s college;” consequently, it is so
appropriate that community volunteers work on campus helping college
employees provide students the best learning environment and high
quality campus life possible. No matter what you do to help, we
deeply appreciate your contributions.
As the times change, so will HCC. This community’s college,
dedicated to providing the people of our service area excellent
and affordable education, will continue to make improvements to
our campus environs, curriculum, teaching approaches, and support
services to provide those we serve with a community college education
second to none. I’m so pleased that the HCC Corps of Volunteers
is growing with the College and we can successfully combine all
of our talents and energy to better serve the community.
HCC is committed to being one of Western Maryland’s greatest
assets. I like to describe the College as “a place so close
that can take its learners so far.” So thank you for joining
our ever growing community of volunteers. For sixty years we have
successfully served this community, and our volunteer corps will
help ensure that we remain an excellent place for adults to learn
and grow through the power of education. Thank you for all you do!
