Welcome to Herkimer County Community College. Whether you are beginning your journey with us or continuing your studies, you are part of a college community that is committed to your success and to the power of education to transform lives.
Since 1966, Herkimer has helped students pursue opportunity, achieve their goals, and build meaningful futures. Our faculty and staff provide a supportive learning environment where students are challenged, encouraged, and prepared for what comes next. From the classroom to the laboratory, from the residence halls to athletics, every part of the Herkimer experience is designed to help you grow academically, professionally, and personally.
At Herkimer, we believe education should be meaningful by design. Our programs are created to provide both strong academic foundations and real-world relevance, helping students transfer successfully to four-year institutions or enter the workforce prepared to contribute and lead. At the same time, the College offers vibrant campus experiences with student organizations, leadership opportunities, and nationally recognized athletic teams that enrich life beyond the classroom.
Equally important is our deep connection to the region we serve. Herkimer is proud to be a community college in the truest sense of the word. We are committed to expanding opportunity, strengthening partnerships, and helping build a strong future for our communities while supporting the aspirations of every student who studies here.
Whether you are just beginning or approaching graduation, I encourage you to fully engage in your Herkimer experience. Seek out opportunities, build relationships with faculty and staff, and take pride in the progress you are making toward your goals.
It is an honor to serve as president of this institution. I wish you a productive and rewarding year ahead.
Herkimer Proud,

Terri Grates Day, PhD
President
