A wonderful opportunity for students at Achieving the Dream (ATD) institutions, of which Harford Community College is one, to become 2019 DREAM Scholars is now available. The opportunity is a year-long learning experience that culminates in the Scholars’ participation in ATD’s annual DREAM conference in Long Beach, California from February 19 to 22, 2019.”
