General Assembly: Loving Students to Success

Thank You!

It took all of us working together to make the first college-wide General Assembly a huge success! Your attendance, participation, and excitement were contagious! And all those who worked tirelessly for over a year on the many details of the event were key in turning a basic rodeo arena into a fun presentation venue for a stellar program hosting nationally known speakers, recognizing our amazing employees, and Russell sharing key data points to drive our mission – loving students to success.

Recordings of General Assembly are available on Panopto via this link. The slides from the Chancellor’s presentation can be accessed via this link. If you haven’t already, please submit the General Assembly evaluation so that we can use your suggestions as we plan for the next one.

Attendees of General Assembly are encouraged to share their photos and videos of memorable moments from the event in this Google Drive! You will need to use your Austin Community College (ACC) credentials to access the drive. Any uploaded photos and videos will be shared publicly via online mediums to promote future events.

Heartfelt thanks for all of your work and dedication to making General Assembly such a success!.
