The Office of Student Life recognizes our outstanding students at ACC through various awards and programs, including the Chancellor’s Student Achievement Award (CSAA). The CSAA is the most prestigious ACC award earned by a graduating student. Each fall and spring graduation, this award is presented to a student who has demonstrated academic excellence, service to ACC and the community, and commitment to ACC’s values and vision. Faculty, staff, and students are welcome to nominate students for the CSAA.
Fall 2025 CSAA nominations open on July 21 and close on October 10.
If you have a student, friend, or classmate who has made a lasting impact during their time at ACC, consider nominating them for the CSAA this semester. Graduating students can also submit a self-nomination!
Rikki Tomiko Ehrhart proves it’s never too late to change direction and redefine success. After years in the service industry, she discovered a passion for programming and dove into every opportunity at ACC, from leading student groups to helping design apps and websites. “When that little voice in your head says you’re not capable, do it anyway. You might surprise yourself,” Rikki says.
