Director's Corner

Welcome to the first edition of the Legends Connection – a place to connect with other ATCC Legends like yourself! We have a lot to celebrate and share. See highlights below as we congratulate our newest Alumni that graduated this spring and pay tribute to Vernon Maack; the original "Legend" that started it all in 1961. We are excited to share developments in student housing, campus expansion and we’re thankful for all supporters who make it happen.

We’d love to hear from you – share some information about yourself in the ‘Alumni Updates” section and share this newsletter with fellow alumni.
