HCTC Cares Disaster Relief for Kentucky

March 2, 2012 several communities in our area as well as across the state of Kentucky were hit with a tornado.  Governor Beshear has declared a state of emergency for these areas and the outbreak has been called the worst in 24 years.  Many of you have asked what can we do; this website provides information for HCTC students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends that are interested in helping.

Student Information:
