“Every time I watch a student cross the stage, I’m reminded of the courage it takes to believe in a different future,” said ACC Chancellor Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart. “As we look ahead, ACC will continue building the systems and supports that ensure more Central Texans can access opportunity, complete college, and move our region forward.”

The ceremony will honor students completing associate and bachelor’s degrees, workforce certificates, and high school equivalency credentials.
