As printed in the Q4 2023 ACCS Alabama Minute Newsletter.
In honor of the Diamond Jubilee 60th anniversary celebration of the Alabama Community College System, all 24 community and technical colleges are offering something for various age groups to explore in their communities.
Whether academics or trades, athletics or cultural arts, more than 800 remarkable programs and services are offered by the ACCS throughout the year. The Diamond Jubilee committee has selected a series of 24 events to showcase our colleges as one, unified system.
For those of you who love a bit of adventure, the Alabama Mining Academy and Underground Mining Simulation Tour is definitely one to check out. At Bevill State, you’ll get to experience firsthand what it’s like to be a miner. But if you’re in the mood for something a bit more festive, the Christmas Tree Lighting at Lurleen B. Wallace is the perfect choice.
