Ready, Set, Ascender! | Get Ready for Fall Registration, Fun Summer Activities, and Texas BBQ!

In this episode, Alejandra and Diana wrap up the school year with updates on ACC’s fall registration details (yes! It’s time to register for fall classes – don’t get left behind!) And when you’re registering for fall, consider joining the Ascender program. Ascender empowers students through personalized mentoring, a designated advisor, and courses in a small class setting. Students get help navigating their first year of college and graduate with the distinctive Ascender stole. All students are eligible to join Ascender regardless of their background. Visit austincc.edu/ascender to join today! For this summer, they recommend Austin Public Library’s hosted events like bilingual yoga classes and joining the cooking club. Plus, don’t forget Star Spangled Fest on July 4th to celebrate America’s 250th birthday! Student guest is Ethan Coronado, ACC Diagnostic Radiology student, who already has an associate degree from ACC, but is back to foster his passion for helping others in his community. Ethan talks about how in his first semester he just went to classes and went home, but a friend encouraged him to join Student Life, and he became engaged with all kinds of fun events, including ACC’s Amazing Race: Riverbat Edition. His team came in second place! Heading into the community, Ale visits Chisholm Trail Barbeque in Lockhart! She chats with the owner, Mike Capello, and learns about his entrepreneurial spirit starting in the fast food industry to now running his own successful restaurant. If that makes you hungry for BBQ this summer, be sure to visit Chisholm Trail Barbeque at www.lockhartchisholmtrailbbq.com Explore Ascender at austincc.edu/ascender.
