"The Faces of Burundi," a photography exhibit by Dr. Nanette Hatzes, is also featured at HACC-Gettysburg Campus through February 28, in conjunction with Black History Month 2007. Nanette is Director of the Learning Center at Shippensburg University and is also an avid photographer. One of the photographs in her exhibit, "Mother and Child, Kiganda, Burundi," was awarded first prize in the third annual Adams County Arts Council Juried Fine Arts Show and Sale in October of 2006.
