Welcome

Congratulations on your appointment to the Full-time Faculty of the Austin Community College District, an institution which offers instruction to more than 80,000 people annually in a service area that includes all or parts of eight counties in Central Texas. We are pleased to have you join in our mission to provide access to higher education and training and to serve our students and community with excellence in all that we do. While everyone’s role at ACC contributes to our students’ learning experience, faculty is the key resource in helping students to achieve their educational goals.

This online module, which we would like for you to complete before you attend the in-person orientation scheduled for August 18th, is an important resource for you. The information will help you understand the policies and processes which support your work and will introduce you to key resource personnel. We hope you’ll also use this resource throughout your new semester as a full-time professor.

I look forward to meeting you at the New Full-Time Faculty Orientation, scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on August 18, 2007 at the Highland Business Center room 201. Until then, I hope that the preparation for your important work at ACC is progressing smoothly and that you will find your work with our students to be richly rewarding.
