👋 Yesterday, we welcomed Kentucky Community & Technical College System President Dr. Ryan Quarles to HCTC for a KCTCS for Kentucky event focused on listening, learning and shaping the future of our system.

🤩 During the event, we recognized our 2025-26 KCTCS scholars, Stephen Wooton and Alyson Brielle Halsey, and heard directly from students, employers and community members through discussions.

🗣️ Most importantly, the day gave us an opportunity to gather valuable input about how HCTC and KCTCS can continue strengthening the services, programs and opportunities we provide to communities across the region and Commonwealth.

📣 ICYMI: Faculty members from HCTC recently sat down with WYMT’s McKinley Calandrino TV
to discuss how artificial intelligence is changing the classroom — and how educators are helping students use these tools responsibly.

🤖 Ben Taylor, assistant professor of English, and Dr. Amanda Spencer-Barnes, professor of math and statistics, shared how they are incorporating conversations about AI, ethics and critical thinking into their courses while preparing students for a workforce where AI will increasingly be part of the job.

🧠 At HCTC, the goal isn’t simply to teach students how to use new technology. It’s to help them evaluate information, think critically and understand when and how these tools should be used.

🔙 In 1883, our story began in Jackson, Breathitt County; in 1894, Labor Day became a federal holiday; in 1945, the vocational school that would become our Technical Campus began serving the region; and in 1968, Hazard Community College came to life.

🛠️ From the coal mines to healthcare, our history is intertwined with the labor that built and sustained our region.

🇺🇸 We’re proud of that legacy — and proud to prepare the workforce of tomorrow.
