Events Highlight Opportunities and Services at AC
For more than 50 years, Angelina College has served the East Texas community through its services and outreach.
Beginning Oct. 6, the college will host its first-ever “Rowdy Week” as a fun way to invite the entire community to see even more of what AC has to offer – and how the college continues to change and shape lives.
Running Oct. 6-9, “Rowdy Week” will highlight the numerous programs and services available to the entire area.
From Wednesday through Friday, the college will host a Prospective Students Preview where students will participate in an Academic and Career Fair, a Support Services Fair and a Self-Inventory and Career assessment. More than 10 companies will be on-hand presenting opportunities to learn more about available positions and the application processes.
Two scheduled events are open to the entire community:
“Noche Blingue” is set to take place from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 7 in AC’s auxiliary gymnasium. The first 200 guests will receive a free t-shirt and pizza; the event will include an Academic and Career Fair, with opportunities to learn more about AC’s support services. There will be games and other events specifically geared for children.
“Rowdy Saturday” will take place from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on the AC campus. That event will feature campus tours, an Academic and Career Fair, food trucks and a Kid Zone complete with a tie-dye station. The Lady Roadrunner softball team has a game scheduled at 11 a.m., and later that evening, AC will host “Angelina’s Got Talent” at 6:30 p.m. in the Angelina Center for the Arts.
Local companies participating in the Career and Academic Fair include Onshore Outsourcing, Darling Ingredients, Brookshire Brothers, Tri-County Community Action Agency and Pilgrim’s Pride Nacogdoches.
Community partners involved with helping launch the event include Texas Mutual Insurance, Pilgrim’s Pride Nacogdoches, Darling Ingredients and Real Graphics. For further information, contact Krista Brown (kbrown@angelina.edu) or Lauren Stacy (lstacy@angelina.edu).
