October is Campus Sustainability Month. Austin Community College District (ACC) hosts events and initiatives to foster environmental awareness and action within our community. This is an opportunity for students, staff, and faculty to come together and contribute to sustainability efforts both on and off campus.

Campus Sustainability Month encourages the ACC community to focus on sustainable practices and learn how to adopt more eco-friendly habits daily. Events are FREE and open to ACC students, faculty, and staff. RSVP may be required for some events.
