The Dr. Henry J. Bowers Focus Group is a student support and learning organization. Come as you are. You can show up at any time and leave at any time.

Typical meetings include introductions and individual updates, followed by discussions of issues that are important to members of the group. There is often focused discussion about many topics. These can include cultural or historical topics; opportunities for personal and professional growth, internships, conferences, out-of-area College or cultural visits; and much more. The atmosphere is relaxed, very supportive, and open. It is intended to build relationships and to provide information, resources, and support to all students.

HFC sociology instructor Dr. Kalvin DaRonne Harvell is the faculty advisor. Chardin Claybourne and Dr. Courtney Matthews are the co-faculty advisors. The group provides an atmosphere in which students are comfortable learning and can be exposed to opportunities within and outside HFC to help them grow academically and professionally.

“We welcome all interested students to join the Focus Group meetings,” said Claybourne. “We have programming planned to engage and stimulate the mind and spirit. Come join us if you are seeking community, discussion, and support!”

All HFC students are welcome and invited to attend meetings, which are free. For questions or more information about the Bowers Focus Group, contact any of the following:
