On Thursday, April 18th, 2024 at the ACC Eastview Campus, students experienced an unforgettable evening at “The Legacy of Leaders” event, where we shined a light on our influential student leaders!

This evening was dedicated to recognizing the unwavering commitment, passion, and impact students make at ACC and the community by the presentation of a distinctive pin.
