Celebrating Academic Excellence: Brinda Roy and Alex Watkins

On April 25, 2026, Austin Community College hosted its annual Student Research Symposium [https://sites.google.com/austincc.edu/student-research-symposium-202/home?authuser=0] event, showcasing outstanding original academic work by ACC students across all disciplines.  Eleven ACC students were also honored at the annual Curiositas Academic Journal [https://curiositas.acclahc.org/] release ceremony, recognizing a carefully selected collection of noteworthy student submissions in the Liberal Arts.  For this episode I was  joined by Brinda Roy and Alex Watkins, who respectively serve as faculty leaders for the Symposium and Curiositas programs.  We were also honored to speak with Zoila Walston and Ashley Miramontes, two students who have been published in Curiositas.

Ted Hadzi-Antich: Learning Via the Great Questions

Ted Hadzi-Antich is a government professor and one of the founders of the Great Questions Seminar [https://programs.austincc.edu/general-studies-in-arts/accs-great-questions-seminar/] at ACC.  Here you’ll learn about how the Seminar focuses on the fundamental elements of close readings of source texts, open ended discussion, and classroom community.  By the end, I think you’ll find it easy to see why this pedagogy has captured the attention of media outlets ranging from the New York Times [https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/04/opinion/college-students-school-work.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare] to the Chronicle of Higher Education [https://www.chronicle.com/article/community-college-is-the-future-of-liberal-education?sra=true], along with major four-year universities who have been surprised and inspired by what our faculty and students achieve together.
