\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

This commencement ceremony marks the official 50th anniversary of graduation at ACC. The very first graduation ceremony at ACC took place in May 1974.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s commencement honors those who have completed an associate degree, bachelor\u2019s degree, workforce certificate, or high school equivalency program. It\u2019s just one of numerous completion events happening at the college.<\/p>\n
