The 2008 spring finals mark Dr. Mary Coplen’s last
required day to be on campus.“It was the biggest sense
of relief when I turned in my letter of resignation- I
have been happy ever since,” Coplen said. “Not that

and students at HCC have always been the dynamic
strength of this institution in moving
it forward to where it is today.”
