I'm proud to have been a part of launching the ACC Alumni Network that has been active now for the better part of 10 years.  When I engage with our alumni they are grateful for their experiences. I hear so many individual experiences with faculty, staff, and mentors-- these collected experiences are ACC's brand and why I'm #ACCProud.  Grateful stories shared by former students include:

*The instructor in the Learning Lab that NEVER GAVE UP until their student understood the math homework.

*The Campus Manager who showed genuine care and concern and personally walked an overwhelmed applicant through the student services suite to make warm introductions and give the student confidence to navigate the application and enrollment process.

*The Ascender Mentor who showed up every week for their mentee... who introduced them to programs the student didn't even know existed... who opened doors for them in their field of interest.

*The Professor who "kept it real" and set up in the student lounge during "office hours" and engaged in casual conversation to empower their students to get that extra assistance when he perceived they were otherwise intimidated.

Every member of ACC makes a difference in our students personal lives and academic experiences.

While going to community college I lived at home, worked part time, and paid small class fees. By the time I transferred to Texas State, I had saved thousands which put me in a good financial place. I managed to get my bachelor's degree without any debt. My instructors were tough and prepared me for life in higher ed. #ACCproud

I'm relatively new to ACC but the reason I wanted to be here was to help create space for empowering our Austin community. In this time of great transformation, we have the opportunity to help students develop unprecedented academic, personal, and professional success. Let's do it together!

There's so much at ACC that makes me proud to be a part of this institution. I could have a top 5 list for so many things — but I'll focus on what we do for our students — in no particular order:

1. Simulation Centers for Students
2. Real-World Experiences for Students
3.  Licensure Pass Rates at the Top EVERY Year
4. Cultural Centers to support a sense of belonging
5. Student Life that encourages students to get involved and be a part of college life here at ACC
