  The Board of Trustees is the policy-making body of the College and is ultimately responsible for setting the larger agenda for the institution. The Board is comprised of representatives from private, for-profit companies, education, and non-profits. The Cambria County Commissioners appoint 12 members to our Board of Trustees. Three additional members are board-appointed from locations in which the College has an academic center, and the Student Senate President serves as a voting member.

  The Board of Trustees meeting takes place at the Richland Campus in the Holtzman Board Room and/or via Zoom.

  Our Cause

  The Chef Auction, with its 10+ year history of making a difference, originally began as an initiative of the 1889 Foundation. In 2023, the event entered a new chapter as the Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Foundation took over stewardship, ensuring its impactful legacy continues. Thanks to your generosity, this year’s Chef Auction will support the Supporting Scholars Fund (Presidential, Emerging Leader, and Destination Graduation scholarships), along with other culinary scholarships. Together, we can empower future generations to thrive in our region.
