Everyone knows the clichéd struggling college student, scraping money to get by, but Amarillo College has many opportunities for students to work on campus to make their already busy lives a little easier.
Leah Foster, a social work major, works as a student assistant to Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart. This is Foster’s second semester at AC, and she has worked for Lowery-Hart since the beginning of her first semester.
Dozens of fitness classes can be found at the Carter Fitness Center on the Amarillo College Washington Street Campus. N-Sanity is one that many say is not quite like the others.
“Even the most fit people are going to pause,” said Trent Oneal, a physical education instructor. “I’ve seen fit people go and throw up on the first day.”
One-hundred-thousand-watts of commercial free power: that is what KACV-FM uses to reach out to listeners to inform them of upcoming events taking place at Amarillo College.
With that much power pumping through the Panhandle, FM90 is able to reach not only the ears of Amarillo students, but those on the campuses in Dumas and Hereford.
New semesters bring new classes, assignments and schedules. For many, thinking about what will follow their time at Amarillo College can wait until later.
“It’s only my first month,” said Anthony Paik, a music major.
