Mission Statement

The mission of HFES is to promote lifelong learning in terms of one’s physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual health. General education courses are an important part of a liberal education.

All courses require students to utilize both college and community resources which increase awareness and respect for social and cultural diversity.
