    Transfer Fair

    October 9, 2024, 10:30 am - 1:30 pm , Penn Highlands Richland

    Speak with local and regional college representatives about your transfer plans after you earn your associate degree. This is the best way to ensure your credits will transfer seamlessly to where you want to go. Whether you know exactly where you’re transferring to, or if you’re not sure where you want to go, this is a good place to start. Students are encouraged to bring an unofficial transcript (located under the Registration tab of myPEAK) to get on-the-spot guidance on classes and transferability.

    The Transfer Fair will take place in the main hallway of the Richland Campus.

    Our Cause

    Originally a part of the 1889 Foundation, the Chef Auction has a rich 10+ year history of helping those in need throughout our area. In 2023, the 1889 Foundation officially handed over the Chef Auction to the Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Foundation, entrusting them with the legacy’s continuation. With your generous support, this year’s Chef Auction will go to helping future generations find success in our region through the Supporting Scholars Fund (Presidential, Emerging Leader, and Destination Graduation scholarships) and other culinary scholarships.
