HCC Voted Best Again
For the fifth year in a row, Holyoke Commnunity College has been named the Best College/University in the annual Springfield Republican / MassLive Reader Raves poll. HCC and winners of the other 2027 Reader Raves awards will be recognized at a gala celebration at the Log Cabin in Holyoke in October. The Reader Raves award caps another hat-trick in media honors for HCC, which was also awarded the 2026 Best in the Valley award as best two-year college from the Valley Advocate (for the fourth year in a row), and the Readers Choice Award for 2026 as best two-year college by the Daily Hampshire Gazette (for the 13th year in a row).
