From Housatonic Community College:

 Housatonic Community College Friday, Sept. 21 will hold a public forum to gather input about the role HCC should play in meeting area education and training needs. The forum, which will feature a panel discussion by education, government and business leaders, will help HCC develop a clear, up-to-date picture of those needs, which the college will use to determine its strategic priorities for at least the next three years.

The focus will be on both credit and non-credit programs. The forum will be held from 8:30 a.m. to noon in the HCC Events Center in Beacon Hall. Housatonic is located at 900 Lafayette Blvd. in downtown Bridgeport, less than 150 yards off I-95 (Exit 27) and Rte. 8 (Exit 1), a block from the Harbor Yard sports complex. Free parking is available in the Housatonic garage.
