FREDRICK JOHNSON — The parking spaces should be bigger. Even when you have a compact like I do, if one person parks off, it can mess up the whole row.

VICTORIA CERVANTES — Bus stop areas could be closed off for shade. Right now it’s cold, so a shelter.

BRITTANY OKORIE — More space for visitors. There’s tons of space for students. For visitors, there’s not enough space for parking.

JOANN FIELDS — Students should be able to park up closer. It looks like all of the teachers get the close spots and then we’re all rushing to find a spot. There’s really not enough room, unless you’re parking far away.

New ACC board of trustees members Mark Williams and Gigi Edwards Bryant have had several months to settle into their new roles.

“It’s an exciting time to be in the community college world,” Williams, a University of Texas graduate, said.

Gigi Edwards Bryant is a sixth generation Austinite.

“I am most excited about the fact that we all have a shared mission for the college, students, staff and education. Everyone has great passion,” Bryant said.

Williams was elected to Place 1 in the Novemeber 2014 elections, and Bryant was elected to Place 2 in a runoff election in December 2014 elections.

Both trustees’ terms end in 2020.
