The Austin Community College Foundation celebrated the ribbon cutting of the Dr. John Roueche Conference Room at our ACC Highland Campus. Through the Drs. John & Suanne Roueche Endowed Scholarship, established in 2012, students have been able to pursue their educational goals and create brighter futures for themselves and their families.

Dr. Roueche has been a steadfast supporter of the ACC Foundation and has served as a member of the ACC Foundation’s Board of Directors since 2012. His legacy and support for our students will be honored by the naming of one of our collaborative spaces, as we continue to celebrate his generosity, including his endowed scholarship supporting The Roueche Scholars.

We were honored to have Roueche Scholars in attendance to celebrate this special occasion, along with Austin Community College District (ACC) Chancellor Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart, members of the ACC Board of Trustees, and the ACC Foundation Board of Directors.

Dahlia R., a Roueche Scholar, shared:
“Listening to Dr. Roueche's story today makes me feel like I have something in common with him. I realize he has a story similar to mine and that he is giving back to the community because of how he was empowered as a student, so this was really special.”

The newly named conference room will serve as a space for collaboration and meaningful connections. We are proud to honor Dr. Roueche’s lasting impact he makes for our ACC students. 🎓✨

As many as 2 in 5 college students face food insecurity. Picture this: you’re running between classes, work, and family responsibilities all day, only to face dinner without enough food.

"I really appreciate the food pantry because it truly helps a lot. I think it is a great help for my family and I to be able to have food provided to us by ACC!" - ACC Student

When you give to the Riverbat Bites Food Pantry, you remove barriers so students can stay focused on what matters: their education.
