2 Helping Students and the Community Succeed: Hearing from those we serve! Katie Sprecher Katie graduated from Smithsburg High School in 2011. She was unsure of her plans after high school but knew coming to HCC and playing basketball for long-time coach Marlys Palmer was a good option. Besides playing for the women s basketball team, Katie is a member of Phi Theta Kappa and also works as a student worker in the athletic department. Katie is a math education major and will graduate in May 2013. Her future plans include teaching math and coaching basketball. She hopes to continue her academic and athletic career at either Shippensburg University or Stevenson University. Rick Howe Rick Howe began attending HCC in 2010 and will graduate in May 2013 with an A.A. in sociology and is also pursuing credentials in political science and education.

He ultimately plans to obtain a doctorate in educational leadership. At HCC, Rick is an extremely active student. He currently serves as the president of the HCC Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and is actively involved in the HCC Phi Beta Lambda Business Club and the HCC Veterans Club and served as vice president of the Student Government Association during the 2012-2013 academic year.
