READ MOREThe Non-Profit Learning Center at Pennsylvania Highlands Community College is hosting a symposium designed to address funding challenges faced by non-profit organizations.
Held in conjunction with National Non-Profit Day, the symposium offers agencies vital strategies and resources for workforce recruitment, training, and navigating budget constraints. The symposium aims to create a collaborative platform for non-profits, equipping them with tools to sustain and enhance their community programs.
The full agenda for the event is as follows:
The Board of Trustees is the policy-making body of the College and is ultimately responsible for setting the larger agenda for the institution. The Board is comprised of representatives from private, for-profit companies, education, and non-profits. The Cambria County Commissioners appoint 12 members to our Board of Trustees. Three additional members are board-appointed from locations in which the College has an academic center, and the Student Senate President serves as a voting member.
The Board of Trustees meeting takes place at the Richland Campus in the Holtzman Board Room and/or via Zoom.
Attendance is required for all new students. Our orientation program helps you smoothly transition into the College community, academically and socially. You’ll learn how to maximize your college experience and acquire key skills for success. You’ll also get to meet classmates, administrators, and staff, understand your career path, and learn about the technology and processes necessary for your first day of classes.
We are excited to welcome you as a new student and look forward to assisting you to become acclimated to the resources and services available. Orientation will be held on Wednesday, August 20, 2025 from 8:30am – 2:00pm for students from all our locations at the Richland Campus.
Each student may bring up to two guests. Check-in is from 8:30am – 9:30am. The Bookstore will be open before and after Orientation; a Resource and Activity Fair will be held from 8:30am – 9:30am and 2:00pm – 3:00pm for you to complete your New Student Checklist prior to departing for the day. You will be obligated to stay the entire day.
