Nearly 200 ACC employees came out to celebrate the employee Wellness Fest on Friday, April 26, 2024 from 11am – 2pm at the Eastview Campus Courtyard! This was the first time hosting the event since 2019. Though the forecast called for storms, the only thunder was that of employees chatting and laughing together as good times were had by all, and the applause for the top finishers of the Exercise Stars challenge which were announced at the kick-off of this event.
The employee Wellness Fest event is an opportunity to celebrate ACC employees’ hard work on behalf of the college and our students, and to spend some time on self-care. We had over 30 health- focused vendors from the campus and community, as well as food trucks, field day games, campus challenges, exercise demos, and other fun activities to allow employees to connect with their peers and destress (and maybe even win some of the awesome door prize packages that were up for grabs).
As employees, taking time out of our day to love ourselves and each other allows us to re-energize, and in turn, better love our students to success!
If you missed the event this year, we’ve included some highlights below. Be sure to save the date for Wellness Fest 2025, which will be held on April 25, 2025.

On September 16, 2022, the ACC Employee Wellness Program was recognized at the 2022 Mayor’s Health & Fitness Awards ceremony. Not only did the program receive the MHFC Workplace Partner Certification at the Gold level, but it was also chosen as the ‘Moving the Needle’ recipient in the area of physical activity. This award recognizes workplaces for exemplifying best practices in creating spaces that promote health and well-being and programs that affect positive change toward healthy lifestyles.
