These maps showcase the campus, wellness, and sustainability points to explore. Join us at an upcoming ribbon-cutting event and explore the new Wellness Walking Paths that were recently updated at NRG, CYP, and SAC. For each campus, there will be a one-hour event featuring wellness, wayfinding, and sustainability-related resources, games, music, scavenger hunts, and a ribbon cutting\/photo opportunity before participants walk a lap around the new trail on the recently updated Wellness Walking Path maps. Everyone is welcome to join and learn more about these programs at ACC.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>Past Wellness Walking Path Ribbon Cutting Celebrations:\n<ul>\n<li>Cypress Creek Campus: Wednesday, January 29, 2025; 11:30 a.m. to 12: 30 p.m. in the Building 1000 Courtyard<\/li>\n<li>South Austin Campus: Wednesday, February 5, 2025; 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Building 1000 Courtyard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0 \u00a0*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0*<\/p>\n<p>View all of these events and more on our dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/tled.austincc.edu\/calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TLED Events Calendar<\/a>.
