HCCC Appoints Grant Administrator

HCCC has appointed Kasper A. Cuda, Herkimer, NY, to the position of grant administrator.

Cuda will oversee HCCC’s participation in the Health CARES Consortium, an initiative funded through the United States Department of Labor’s Strengthening Community Colleges grant program. The Health CARES Consortium is led by Onondaga Community College and includes 11 SUNY community colleges, including HCCC.  CARES stands for “Career, Acceleration, Retention + Employment Support.”  The goal of the consortium project is to increase the healthcare and social assistance workforce in New York State.

Cuda was most recently a science tutor here at HCCC as well as a teaching assistant for biology at Clarkson University. She was also previously employed at the Utica Chamber of Commerce where she gained experience in event planning, public relations, marketing, and social media.

Cuda holds a master’s degree in health administration from Utica University, and two bachelor’s degrees from Clarkson University – one in Biomolecular Science with a minor in Biology, and the other in Chemistry.
