Message from the PresidentIt has been an exciting time for the College with increasing enrollment——up 88% over ttfall 2008—new program development, major capital projects, preparation for reaccreditatio reaaccreeditationn,,

and much more.

I am proud of the work we have done providing educational assistance to members of the military. G.I. Jobs announced that HCC made its list of 2010 Military

Friendly Schools. The list honors the top 15% of colleges, universities, and trade schools that

embrace America’s veterans as students.

In October 2009, community and business leaders attended a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony to

celebrate the completion of the renovation and expansion of Aberdeen Hall,llthe College’s state-of-the-art science, technology, engineering, and math building.

In order to create an opportunity for our students to complete their Bachelor’s degree without

commuting out of the county, a Towson University building will be built on the west w

side of Thomas Run Road across from the main Harford Community College campus. The project y College ca

is scheduled to break ground in spring 2011. Another proposed building project involves theg projectct inv

redesign and expansion of the Susquehanna Center athletic building to include a 3,000uddee a 3,000+

seat arena.

The College is also preparing for reaccreditation in 2012, a process that occurs every ten yn yeears

and certifi es the excellence of the College.

After almost 40 years, I will be retiring on July 31, 2010. Serving as President for the last fi ver almo

years has been extremely rewarding, and I have appreciated the community’s continuedbeen

support of Harford Community College.ford Csu

I hope that as you read this report, you will join me in taking great pride in the College’sthis ras you r

many accomplishments.ents.
