HAPPY 40TH! Birthday cake, bell-bottoms, and tuxedos were part of HCC's 40th birthday celebration. In October, students, staff, and faculty shared games and cake and gave a big thank you to Dr. Edward Cochran, member of our first board of trustees, who was awarded the James Clark, Jr. Medal. "Dr. Cochran envisioned the significant role a community college would play in the economic development of the county," said Kathy Rensin, chair, HCC Board of Trustees.
