Summer is on it's way

Hello everyone! Spring semester is coming to a close, hope ya'll are doing good on finals. Graduation is next week YIPPEEEE, I am so excited to finally be done with my degree but also a little sad because I will miss all the great instructors and classmates on campus! Guess I will have to come back and take more classes lol. This semester has been a long one but incredibly fun. I would like to encourage everyone to paticipate in clubs, organizations and other extracuriclur activities on campus. You will be amazed at how these can enhance your college experience. But I do advise that you don't overextend yourself, plenty of rest will keep alert and able to focus on your studies. I learned this the hard way by pushing myself beyond the point of exhaustion and have had to deal with some serious health issues because of it. I wouldn't trade any of the great times I have had this semester but definatly would make sure I found the time for rest. Good luck to all of you in what ever your future holds and you never know I may be back!

Graduation Is Next Month

I hope everyone is having a great semester. This semester has just flown by and graduation is coming up on May 10, 2011. Remember starting tomorrow you can pick up your graduation tickets. Due to the lack of space in the gym, ACC will have the lunch room open and the ceremony will be shown on the "BlueTube". This year ACC has a second option that is pretty cool, they have opened the ACC Theatre for seating and will show the entire ceremony on a big screen. I know I am excited, because I am one of the graduates crossing the stage! I have also had the honor of being President of Phi Theta Kappa, which is the Honor Society for two year colleges. If you are a member of Phi Theta Kappa, make sure you stop by the ACC bookstore and purchase your PTK stole and tassle, to be worn during the graduation ceremony.

Several of our ambassadors are graduating, which means Cammy and Liz will be needing to replace them. There will be an "Ambassador Session" on April 21, from 12:00 until 2:00 in the Texas Room. Kristy and myself will be there to conduct the session and answer any questions you might have about the Ambassador Program. You will be able to fill out an application, as well as have your initial interview on the spot. Being an Ambassador is a great honor, since you are the "Face of ACC", and don't forget about the $500 scholarship that goes along with that.

I have enjoyed being an ambassador for the last two semesters, and if it weren't for me graduating, I would do it again next semester. I have enjoyed every minute of my two years here at ACC and I will continue to take some courses that will enhance my degree. Enjoy this beautiful weather, and I look forward to seeing you around campus.
