He talked about the changes in his 9 years. All the parking is now done on the outside edges of the campus, the building of the parking garage helps keep all the campus free of parking lots and fives a feeling of completeness. The Advance Placement programs done with area high schools helps prepare our students to be on par with the technology that faces them at HVCC. This is supported by a Grant from Pathways to Technology.

A partnership with Regeneron is giving the students a chance to explore and grow with education in training. There are several 4 year programs that can be done while still at HVCC in partnership with Plattsburg College. A course in Windmill repair and other renewable resources professions such as geo thermal is offered and needed. The association that is forming with Trinity Alliance this fall will open HVCC to even broader educational directions.
