Every fall, Austin Community College (ACC) comes together for our signature annual event\u2014General Assembly (GA)! This all-college celebration brings together employees from across the District to reconnect, recharge, and reignite our shared purpose. It\u2019s a dynamic day of inspiration, learning, and community as we reflect on our successes, hear about the exciting future ahead, and celebrate what makes ACC extraordinary\u2014our people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2025 theme is \u201cBuilding a Culture of Love\u2026Together\u201d and will take place on Friday, September 26, 2025, at the ACC Highland Campus (HLC)<\/a> and virtually. Mark your calendars! While all ACC classes will be cancelled, General Assembly is a workday. This allows every employee to participate\u2014whether in person or virtually\u2014on this unforgettable day of connection and inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those attending in person, HLC will feature small-group watch parties during the morning session to encourage cross-campus conversations in a more interactive format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
