Austin Community College District (ACC) celebrates our Honors students who continue to raise the bar through research, scholarship, and academic achievement.
Six ACC Honors Program students have been accepted into Texas State University’s Opportunities for Undergraduate Research in Human Development & Family Sciences (OUR HDFS) Fellowship Program.
This prestigious 25-week National Science Foundation–supported fellowship pairs students with faculty and graduate mentors, immersing them in hands-on research, professional exploration, and graduate-school preparation. Participants also receive a stipend and travel support as part of the program.
Additionally, Honors Math major Charles “Chuck” Martin III will take the national stage in January 2026 at the Joint Mathematics Meeting in Washington, D.C. — the largest mathematics conference in the world. Chuck will present his research on the role of mathematics and science in early to modern photography, showcasing the power of interdisciplinary inquiry.
