Events and Workshops
ACR offers workshops (both online and in person) and events for MATC students and alumni such as job fairs, transfer fairs, and career planning (we also welcome prospective MATC students to our Career Planning Workshops). Many of the in-person workshops are held at the Truax campus. If you are closer to a regional campus, you can meet individually with an advisor about any of these topics (see ACR contact information for each campus).
