However, figuring out the way is what is important. Just like many things in life, there are obstacles, trepidations, and doubts that follow a program that is revolutionary to the city…

Originally, my educational plan was to attend Penn State Harrisburg as a double major in Political Science and Psychology, to which I have already been accepted. However, the opportunity to attend a community college with a very strong relationship with my main institution was one I could not pass, especially given the lower cost of attendance and high transferability of credits. My goal is to transfer or graduate from HACC without having…

the Harrisburg. Even though, there are shelters available, providing more homeless shelter in the community can possibly keep people safe, especially in extreme weather. b. Housing and property reconstruction in the 6th street area. Most of the houses looked run down and dirty.

Surveys were passed out at the beginning and at the conclusion of the CPA. There were 91 participants in the Harrisburg academy, and 29 in the Richmond (note…
