“I have a personal attachment to this Institution. Graduating and working here is all I've ever known, along with my very own “alumnied” family. I am lucky to have worked alongside present and past employees—some of the finest this Commonwealth has ever employed. I give towards scholarships because I see the happiness it brings first hand and there is nothing more fulfilling than helping and giving to others. ‘There is no greater gift in life, than giving of ourselves,’ and an HCC education to the greatest students.” |
