As part of Stress Less Finals Week, and a chance to show off students\u2019 talent, Student Life specialist Josh Garcia, hosted the first annual North by Northridge(NxNRG) showcase. \u201cNxNRG is a showcase of student artwork of all different mediums\u201d says Garcia. <\/span><\/p>\n

Artwork included paintings, photography, digital art, and more. \u201cWe were going to have some music but the weather was kind of unpredictable today,\u201d says Garcia. The weather was predicted to be a high of 86 with clouds in the sky and possible rain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Northridge is known for hosting many creative and design departments including creative digital, music business, animation and more. Students submitted artwork and set up tables along the breezeway with their artwork on display. There were also interactive tables where students could paint flower pots, a friendship bracelet making station hosted by Riverbat Ambassador Dorothy Alexander. Plus, Student Life hosted a swag station with finals necessities like scantrons and pencils. Chick-fil-a was also nearby to show their support for students with sandwiches and prizes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrapping up NxNRG, students had one last chance to de-stress by giving the pi\u00f1ata their best shot. This created an opportunity to network and interact with other students, faculty, and staff. As this was the first NxNRG, Student Life hopes to host this event for students every semester. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStudent Life is an opportunity for students to connect with their campus, with pretty much everything relating to outside of the classroom\u201d says Garcia. Aiming to help students succeed in and out of the classroom, and connecting them with resources, Student Life is here to help students at ACC. \u201cStudent Life has done a lot, a lot for me, it\u2019s another place I can call home\u201d says gaming student and aspiring Riverbat Ambassador, Ty Howard. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you would like to get involved or volunteer, stop by your Student Life office located on your campus or visit austincc.edu\/sl<\/a> for opportunities and resources available to you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
