Today, HACC enrolls more than 20,000 students each year at its five campuses in Gettysburg, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Lebanon and York and via its virtual learning offerings.

The College offers approximately 200 career associate and transfer degree pro-grams, diploma and certificate programs. In addition, it offers workforce develop-ment programs in health care, computer training, fire training, law enforcement and safety, security programs, basic academic and language skills development, and technology and trades.

Walking Safely in Bad Weather Conditions• When walking on wet, slippery side-

walks, parking lots or surfaces (partic-ularly at night) walk slowly, take short flat steps and keep your feet in contact with the ground as much as possible.

• Walk on level surfaces whenever pos-sible, and avoid walking on wet or fro-zen grass and uneven surfaces where it is difficult to get solid footings.

• Wear sensible weather resistant shoes, boots, or footwear that provides good traction, such as shoes with good rubber or slip resistant soles, or snow and climbing boots with deep treads, or cleats for ice.

• Avoid taking shortcuts in areas un-familiar to you or across snow piles, frozen ponds or rough country where balance and/or footing is precarious and unsafe.

• Avoid carrying packages etc. over slip-pery surfaces and use handrails, when available, for support. Avoid causing indoor slipping hazards by keeping wet outer garments and umbrellas from dripping and by wiping footwear carefully on the mats provided.

• Keep away from snow plowing, sand-ing, and salting equipment or machin-ery cleaning sidewalks etc.

Since the day HACC opened its doors, it’s continued to expand

the horizons for students. The options are yours

at HACC.
