The partnership highlights E-town\u2019s commitment to providing enrollment options to HCC students seeking to further their postsecondary education.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to offer this opportunity to HCC students as they advance their education,\u201d Vice President of Enrollment Management John F. Champoli said. \u201cOur partnership creates an affordable, flexible way for HCC students to start their college credits in a community college setting and transfer to E-town to complete a bachelor\u2019s degree program.\u201d<\/p>\n
