President's Message

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

Shortly after the College’s year-long celebration began this summer to commemorate 40 years of excellence in education, I reached a personal milestone—my 20th anniversary as the College’s second president.

In 20 years, I have witnessed a student body that has grown from slightly more than 1,100 students in 1986 to our 3,400+ learners today who have the opportunity to study on campus, online through the Internet Academy, and as high school students through College Now. With so many innovative ways to go to college, we are proud to welcome a diverse student population that spans many geographies, time zones, languages, ethnicities, age groups and life experiences.

We are glad you chose HCCC, and we are glad you are here. I hope you will embrace all the College offers you both inside and outside of the classroom in the time you spend on our campus. I will welcome the opportunity to talk with you.
