We’re #HACCproud to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our spring and summer 2021 graduating students.
While we couldn’t come together in person to celebrate their remarkable achievements, we were proud to virtually celebrate on May 13.
The best part is… you can still view the ceremony on our HACC’s YouTube channel.

Dr. Anju Singh was born and raised in India where she was trained as a medical doctor, and an eye surgeon, an ophthalmologist. Her arranged marriage in India took her away from her home and family, first to Canada where she pursued a career in neuro-ophthalmology; then to the United States where most of her education wasn’t recognized. Soon after coming to the United States, Dr. Singh was a victim of domestic violence. She found herself a single mother of a three year old son and was not allowed to relocate or gain employment. She put herself through graduate school and earned a Ph.D. in molecular medicine, followed by a master's degree in health administration. Dr. Singh is the owner of a small business in Hummelstown and her experiences inspired her to start a nonprofit, the Unity in Diversity Foundation. Dr. Singh has been an adjunct faculty member at HACC since the spring of 2017. She is also running for prothonotary in the upcoming Dauphin County elections.
Randale Scott is graduating with an Associate in Fine Arts. Randale’s love for theatre began at a very early age, and he knew as a child that theatre acting was something he always wanted to do. His first theatre experience was seeing “The Nutcracker” performed at his middle school in Reading, Pennsylvania. Television shows like “The Power Rangers,” “Family Matters” and “Saved by The Bell,” helped Randale escape the obstacles he faced in life. Acting became a way for him to express himself. Since starting at HACC, Randale has gained a lot of hands-on experience, including stage manager for “New Works Festival (Closed Loop and Turing Test),” as well as the soundboard operator for “Spring Awakening” and the assistant stage manager for “The Giver.” Randale plans on continuing his education and will begin auditioning for roles in major theatre productions this summer. His favorite quote is “It always seems impossible, until it’s done,” by Nelson Mandela.
