As the spring semester draws to a close, Austin Community College District (ACC) celebrates the remarkable achievements of its students. With over 3,000 students invited to participate in the 2024 spring commencement ceremony and an additional 3,700 who were invited to the fall commencement last December, the total number of graduates for the academic year surpasses an impressive 6,700.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Date:<\/strong> Friday, May 17 \u201cThis is my favorite event of every semester. I am encouraged by the success and admire our students’ strength, brilliance, and perseverance to get here,\u201d says ACC Chancellor Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart. \u201cThe future of learning and workforce is at a community college because we provide the skills you need to get a career and earn a family-sustaining wage. Our job is to help these students finish what they started to get there. It fills me with immense pride knowing we are already seeing the work pay off to support more students completing what they started and taking those next steps.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2024 Spring Commencement Ceremony holds special significance. It is the official 50th graduation event at the college. ACC\u2019s first ceremony was held in May 1974. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the past five decades, ACC\u2019s graduation events have grown to honor all types of\u00a0graduates, including those who complete an associate degree, bachelor’s degree, workforce certificate, or high school equivalency program.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This spring, special guest, Texas State University President Dr. Kelly Damphousse, will join in celebrating our Riverbats\u2019 achievements. Texas State is the top transfer institution for ACC students \u2014 this spring the colleges expanded our partnership to build more seamless pathways for ACC students to transfer to Texas State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As graduates prepare to embark on the next phase of their journey, remember ACC will continue to offer support through challenges that lie ahead.
