This semester, we partnered with GEAR Up (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness), which is a program for high school students in underserved areas who want to pursue higher postsecondary education, in conjunction with the Department of Education.
The HSSC raises funds for the HFCC each year to support children going to summer camp, purchasing bikes, and encouraging exercise and participation in outdoor activities to promote better health for children in New Mexico. We have raised funds through charity 5k rases and hope to hold an additional field day event in the spring of 2023.
We have thrown two coffee and bagel events this semester and plan to hold the same, if not more, this coming semester. Normally held in one of the Domenici building wings, we have had turnouts of over 200 people, and it has been a great way to give back to the HSC community throughout the year while also raising awareness about the HSSC.
