On Sunday, February 22, HCC will celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Super Sunday College Fair at five local churches. HCC and KCTCS are celebrating the fifth year of partnering with African-American and Latino churches throughout the state to host college information fairs for prospective students and their families. Since 2011, we have partnered with more than 150 churches and have shared "Yes,You Can Go To College" message with more than 33,000 individuals. This community-based outreach effort is paying off resulting in increased college attendance among African- Americans and Latinos in Kentucky.

In Henderson, thanks to support from the African American Pastors and Layman's Alliance, HCC will have messages during the services at five churches. The host church will be the one where HCC's first Super Sunday occurred, Greater Norris Chapel Baptist Church. HCC will also partner with Madisonville Community College to bring the Super Sunday message to Providence, KY, through Marable Temple Church of God in Christ.

On January 29, Kyndle partnered with HCC to offer a regional job fair. Originally targeted for miners laid off through mine closures, the fair was opened to anyone looking for a job. Over 30 employers offered positions during the event, and many education and social service organizations were there to share opportunities. Miners and others were lined up when the doors opened and over 200 individuals met with various companies over the fair hours. Employers were pleased with the quality of the applicants and those looking for work were excited about their prospects. Companies ranged from manufacturing to health care to financial services. The job fair was a joint effort of Kyndle, HCC, HCC's Workforce Solutions, the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training, the Kentucky Economic Development Cabinet, Union County First, the Murray State Small Business Development Center, the Green River Area Development District and Northwest Kentucky Training Consortium. The event was sponsored by HCC, J and B Barbecue, RC Cola, NKTC and Kyndle.    

The Health Careers Fair scheduled for Friday, February 13 from 10 a.m. - noon in the Fine Arts Center on campus is a great time to talk with local healthcare employers about career and employment opportunities in the healthcare industry.  While they are definitely targeting nursing and allied health students and graduates, all majors are welcome to participate!  There will be approximately 20 employers attending. View the informational flyer. Contact Angie Watson in Career Services, by email or phone for more information, 270-831-9671.

February is National Heart Month. Nursing students Sean West and Kelli Ritchison created this bulletin board to bring awareness to National Heart Month and Go Red for Women. The American Heart Association notes that 1 of 3 women will die from heart disease or stroke. The CDC notes that heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women.

HCC supports heart heath and overall wellness for its students, faculty and staff. Several employees got together on Wear Red Day to show their support. Photo taken in the STC by John Merrill.
