It’s back to school time and we are excited to welcome students to campus! We sat down with Elan Richards to get a good overview of the events planned for this fall for our students. Whether you’re an active participant or just want to meet up with your friends and classmates, we encourage you to join any or all of the activities planned for the fall semester.

In this episode we chatted about SGA meetings, Wellness Wednesdays, and a new event – gingerbread house decorating. Of course, some of the favorites are back such as trivia and the infamous students versus employees kickball tournament. We are also excited to bring back Elan’s favorite event, the Halloween costume contest. Don’t miss out on all of these amazing events this semester to take a break from your hard work and hopefully meet some new friends. See you out there bobcats!

Through the NextNC Scholarship, eligible North Carolinians attending a community college will receive at least $3,000. We sat down with members of our Financial Aid team to learn more about this scholarship award that is easy to understand and makes education more affordable for qualifying students.

The HCC Foundation will be hosting a charity disc golf tournament on June 13th. Discs in the Dogwoods will bring the flavor of a golf outing to campus featuring disc golfers. Teams of four will play the course and be greeted by various sponsors with some swag and great information. With two tee times and prizes available, this is an event you don’t want to miss. Entry fees include playing the course, lunch, and the support of the Haywood Strong scholarship which benefits former millworkers and their families looking to further their education at HCC.
