“The Journal Square Campus provided an unobstructed view of the World Trade Center on
9/11. Hundreds of students and staff stood on the sidewalks and street watching in horror
as the events of the morning unfolded. I remember the collective moan as the crowds saw
the first and then the second building come down. We shut down the campus later that
morning and made our facilities available to public authorities, and we remained closed
for several days. If the wind blew toward the west, what seemed to be little pieces of soot fell
like rain from the sky, and there was a strange smell. Many of the PATH police who were
killed were based out of the Journal Square Station. For days afterwards, it was sobering
to see cars towed from parking lots near the campus as the realization came that their drivers would not be coming back. So many members of the College community had personal
connections to those who were lost. What I found so remarkable at the time—and still
do—is that during and afterwards, the College community continued to be a welcoming
environment for everyone, one that celebrated our diversity. Hudson County Community
College is a special place.”

HCCC Lecture Series at the

An Afternoon with Ana Navarro
September 29, 2016, 1 p.m., FREE
Ana Navarro is a well-known Republican strategist and a political analyst for CNN
and CNN en Español. She is also a political contributor on ABC’s The View. The
Miami New Times named her a “Republican power-consultant,” and the Tampa Bay
Times called her “a sought-after voice in Republican politics and an adviser for any
presidential hopeful,” saying, “with confidants Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio she is poised
to play a big role in the GOP response to immigration reform and Hispanic outreach.”
An Evening with Piper Kerman
October 13, 2016, 6 p.m., FREE
Piper Kerman’s best-selling memoir Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s
Prison chronicles what the author calls her “crucible experience”—the 13 months she
spent in the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut. A brief dalliance with drug trafficking while she was in her early twenties sent Kerman to prison
10 years later on money laundering charges. Her experience in prison provides the
basis for the award-winning comedy-drama Netflix series Orange Is the New Black.

Our Mission:
The mission of the Hudson County Community College Department
of Cultural Affairs is to provide supplementary programs to stimulate
awareness of the arts and foster creativity. We strive to complement
the efforts of HCCC with cultural events, community programs, and
educational initiatives. Our goal is to transcend the understanding of
visual and performing arts by closing the distance between the experience
of art and everyday life in the community we serve.
