How the Grinch stole Heriatge Hall
In December the Grinch left Whoville and set his sights on Heritage Hall. With Rufus by his side to serve as his reindeer, the Grinch stole the log for the fire, the Christmas tree and even the Who Hash. Check our OUHCOM on Instagram to see Dean Johnson's antics as he got into character.


The Giving Tree
Heritage College faculty, staff and students got into the holiday spirit ahead of winter break with Cocoa with the Dean and packing up gifts from the Giving Tree. The Giving Tree Project helps to provide gifts to Athens County Children’s Services for children in need during the holiday season. Students were also treated to the annual Cocoa with the Dean event.
