-ACC Connect is a strategic soft launch of a high school outreach initiative started this spring for 7 opportunity high schools (Elgin, Del Valle, Manor Senior High, Northeast, LBJ, San Marcos, and Connally). These schools are linked to an ACC campus for direct support by campus team members with applications, financial aid, and orientation/registration. Once new staff is onboarded to support these services, the program will be rolled out to all priority 1 schools by fall 2022. -Access Hubs are initiatives for community outreach with community partners. The first outreach plan is with the YMCA. Presence at these community centers will help to increase enrollment in programs/courses at ACC. Outreach opportunities to various age groups from young, to right out of high school, to families/adults. The team will also bring in the military family coordinator to connect families to ACC offerings and benefits. This chancellor priority is headed up by Student Affairs Communications team and Public Affairs team. The enrollment management recruitment team is supporting the efforts and outreach.
