“This evening represents the culmination of hard work, commitment, and sacrifice,” says Dr. Richard Rhodes, ACC president/CEO. “Our students leave ACC with a stronger foundation for a brighter future. We’ll celebrate their successes and their personal accomplishments and growth. It’s an inspiring evening, and my favorite moment of the year.”

The ceremony includes a tribute to graduating veterans, who are recognized with medallions in appreciation of their service.

Dr. Thomas Hatfield will deliver the keynote address. Dr. Hatfield served as the first president/CEO of Austin Community College from 1973 to 1977. The ACC Board of Trustees designated him president emeritus in 2017.
