The Inaugural Alumni Achievement Awards were established in 2023 as part of the Austin Community College District's (ACC) 50th Anniversary events. Last year, five distinguished graduates received the College's highest honor, the Alumni Achievement Award. As role models of outstanding leaders who contribute to their professional and civic communities, these individuals were honored during a ceremony on June 11, 2024.
