What to Expect

The virtual celebration will include special videos and messages to our graduates, their families and friends, and the Austin Community. Pastor G. V. Clark of the Mt. Zion Baptist church will serve as our spring 2020 commencement speaker.  We will also hear from ACC President/CEO, Dr. Richard Rhodes, Chair of the ACC Board of Trustees, Ms. Gigi Edwards Bryant, President of the ACC Student Government Association, Mr. Noble Udoh, and our spring 2020 Presidential Student Achievement Award recipient, Mr. Roosevelt Granderson, among other staff, faculty and community well-wishers. 

As a key part of this year’s virtual celebration, ACC will provide every candidate with a personal graduation profile to celebrate their accomplishments. Your graduation profile can be customized with a photo,  personal message, and your name read aloud just as it would be read during an in-person commencement ceremony. Your profile will be available to share on social media so others may congratulate you for your hard work and commitment and celebrate the Class of 2020!
