    I love what the college is doing, especially with sports. Hope they get a gymnasium real soon.
    My daughter wouldn't shut up. Keep up the good work.

      That department that deals with the students is the best. They should model the whole college after that department. Put the students first and kill them with love.

        I wholeheartedly agree. I see that someone disagrees. That must be some bitter non-productive staff, and hlscc is loaded with useless staff and faculty. I can speak on it, having be treated like a fog by the administration, in particular Ms. Hamm in the Human Resources Department.
        Useless overpaid staff. Faculty running amuck, and a president who is friends with those who ????ing up.
        I pray that the ministry takes an extensive and in-depth look at the goings on. I will stop here, for if I continue in my rant, they will know who I am.
