Austin Community College’s (ACC’s) signature employee event returns this fall. General Assembly 2025 will take place on Friday, September 26, at Highland Campus and online. This annual gathering invites all ACC employees to reflect on the past year, reconnect with colleagues, and refocus on our shared goals. The theme for this year is “Building a Culture of Love…Together.”

In-person attendees will kick off the day with small-group watch parties during the morning program, designed to encourage conversation and collaboration. The event continues with lunch from local food vendors (for in-person attendees), followed by interactive breakout sessions and a vibrant resource fair. Whether attending virtually or in-person, employees will walk away with new ideas, renewed purpose, and a deeper connection to the North Star.

Resource Fair

Faculty- and staff-facing departments and programs are invited to participate in this year’s General Assembly Resource Fair, now offered in both in-person and online formats. This is a great opportunity to share your work, services, and resources with your colleagues. 

For the in-person fair at Highland Campus, applicants are encouraged to incorporate interactive elements such as digital displays, hands-on activities, or QR codes linking to key content. Space is limited, but we will do our best to include as many applicants as possible.

To participate virtually, create a Google Drive folder titled with your area, office, or program name and upload the materials you’d like to share with the collegewide community. Your folder will serve as your virtual table and will be shared with attendees as part of the online experience.
