President's Message

Ronald F. Williams, Ed.D.
Herkimer County Community College President

Welcome! I am happy you have taken the time to take a look at Herkimer County Community College, and experience aspects of the campus via our website.

Since 1986, I have served as Herkimer County Community College's President. Throughout the years I have watched the College grow and succeed with the help of our strong academic programs, competitive athletic teams, and our commitment to our local community.

Currently, Herkimer County Community College offers over 40 degree programs leading to one-year certificates, A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees. The Internet Academy offers eighteen associate degree programs and three certificate programs which can be completed entirely online. Seventy-eight percent of all courses offered by the college are taught by full-time faculty.

Herkimer County Community College athletic teams have been very successful. The Herkimer Generals have brought home 27 National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Championships since 1987, and we are hungry for more. Not only are our athletes successful on the athletic fields, they are successful in the classroom, capturing 25 National Academic Team of the Year Awards since 1993.

With sixty-six percent of our students from outside of Herkimer County, Herkimer County Community College is not your typical community college. The large population from outside Herkimer County contributes to our ever-growing diverse student population. Herkimer County Community College is the largest residential community college in New York State with the recent addition of Reservoir Run Student Housing Complex.

Year-round the campus is buzzing with activity. I invite you to take a trip to Herkimer, NY and experience the campus for yourself, but for now, continue to navigate through our website with just the click of your mouse.

Ronald F. Williams, Ed.D.
College President
