Student Stories

Ibrahima

HCC was a bounce back into my education pathway. My experience here has helped me realize that I am still able to perform well in school, especially despite starting my first semester during the pandemic.

Teresa

With the knowledge I am gaining at HCC and the knowledge I will earn at a 4-year university after HCC, I plan to develop my management, accounting and marketing skills to run my own business.
