When Faustas Udrenas arrived at Harper College, he wasn’t sure if he’d be “missing out” on the kinds of opportunities that a four-year institution may offer. Two years later, enriched by an abundance of experiences and relationships, he wrapped up his time on campus utterly convinced he had made the right decision.

The reimagined, state-of-the art Foglia Foundation Health and Recreation Center at Harper College has opened its doors after an extensive renovation, setting the new standard for organizations partnering to pool resources to better serve the community.

Whenever people ask Brianna Vasquez if it’s weird to go to college with her mother, she doesn’t hesitate to respond. “It hasn’t been weird in the least,” she said. “I love coming to campus with my mom and eating lunch together. But most of all, I love getting to see first-hand the good that Harper does for her.” With honors classes, Phi Theta Kappa and ambitions to study psychology, Brianna's thriving as well.
