ON THE ISSUES

"In the last six years, ACC has become more affordable, improved graduation rates, expanded wrap-around services for students, and raised wages for our employees. I’m running for re-election to continue this important work."
LIST OF ISSUES
Affordability

Stephanie will continue to work to make ACC more affordable and accessible. She will support the expansion of programs, like the Z-degree programs and OER courses,  that reduce textbook costs for students. She will also advocate to sustain and expand ACC’s Free Tuition Pilot Program.

Student Success

To improve student enrollment, persistence, and completion rates, Stephanie believes we must continue to strengthen the academic supports and wrap-around services that students need to succeed. Academic advising, tutoring, and learning labs must be more accessible. Students need ACC’s help to access affordable housing, child care, and health services, including mental health services, so that they can overcome the barriers that still prevent many in our community from attaining an ACC degree or certificate.

Good Jobs

In order for our college and region to recruit and retain the workforce we need, ACC employees, students, and graduates must be able to afford to live in Central Texas. ACC has a responsibility to promote the growth of good jobs in our region, by paying employees a family-sustaining wage and partnering with employers who commit to doing the same.
