We accept ALL Friends here at ACC TACHE!
Irregardless of HOW you identify, our group serves as the prime meeting point for ALL Employees (Staff/ Faculty/ Hourly/ Contractor/ Interns/ Administrators) and Students who are interested in joining to have a "space" to come together, ask questions and have a resource group to call "NIDO" (a nest) at ACC.
ACC TACHE believes that together we are more united in our collective voice.
