ACC does so many good things in so many corners of our vast and far-flung college – it can be hard to keep up.\u00a0 So today I thought I’d highlight our partnership with Texas A&M in the Texas A&M-Chevron Engineering Academy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Especially in our current reality – one that challenges our college, our city, our state, and our nation – the TAMU Engineering Academy is a tremendous opportunity for current and soon-to-be ACC students.\u00a0 As we see in this edition of the President’s Podcast<\/a>, engineering jobs have a bright future – and the ACC\/TAMU partnership makes that future even brighter for our students.<\/p>\n

We are headed into our fourth year of this partnership, and we hope to have over 100 students in the entering cohort.\u00a0 This is a tremendous opportunity for them – they are Aggies from the start but they are also Riverbats from the start – so they call themselves AggieBats.\u00a0 They start their engineering future with us and immediately learn from a TAMU Professor of Practice, they have various outings to the TAMU campus in College Station (including presenting projects at TAMU showcases), they can take advantage of all the things ACC has to offer (including excellent instruction and tutoring as well as saving money) – in other words, they are part of a TAMU\/ACC learning community that provides a clear pathway to the career and the life that they want.<\/p>\n

Celebrate this corner of ACC and the impact that it has.\u00a0 Congrats to all involved with the TAMU Engineering Academy at ACC!<\/p>\n
