We had an amazing time at the latest WiSDEM outing! The WisDEM ladies started out by eating delicious food from the Pig Pin by Fat Man and ended at The Painted Grape in Mebane. With happy tummies we painted adorable figurines and had an incredible time! Thank you to Samantha James for capturing these memories!

The ACC Stem Club took the time to join the SGA for a special Solar Eclipse Viewing Party! Adorned with glasses and smiles, they were able to witness the last total solar eclipse anticipated for the next 20 years in our area!

We had such a fun time today watching the eclipse! 🌒☀️

Lillia has been such an inspiration and an incredibly hard worker during her time at ACC. "It feels easy to put my situation into words now but, in reality, I was struggling to afford food and find a place to sleep even while working full-time and attending college,” said Diez. ”I wanted my life to change for the better and, ultimately, attending Alamance Community College was the answer."-Lillia Diez
