“My husband wants
me to put a bumper
on the back of
his Jeep. That’s
my first project.”Melissa Beck, 38, welding student
at Harrisburg Area Community
College’s York CampusThe photo subjects in this story
are all students at Harrisburg
Area Community College’s York
Campus. Founded in 1964,
when the surrounding suburbs
were farmland, HACC is the
oldest community college in
Pennsylvania and serves 19,000
credit-seeking students and
6,000 other students in non-
credit programs. Aside from the
building and mechanical trades,
you can learn CNC machining,
brewing science (coming
this May), and information
technology at HACC. We thank
the students, instructors, and
administrators for welcoming
us on a busy school day.
