This year, the Alamo Colleges District is proud to celebrate the graduation of more than 11,000 students across our five colleges, including nearly 1,500 AlamoPROMISE scholars and 950 high school program graduates who earned their associate degrees or certificates before walking the stage at their high school ceremonies.While the semester is coming to an end, this is only the beginning for our Alamo Colleges graduates.Five of our student graduates, one from each of our Alamo Colleges, recently took part in a special edition of A Seat at the Table with Chancellor Dr. Mike Flores to share experiences they have gained while being Alamo Colleges students and their plans for the future.

In our newest episode of A Seat at the Table, Chancellor Dr. Mike Flores explores the vital work of the First Responders Academy at San Antonio College – a program that trains more than 500 graduates annually for careers in law enforcement, fire science, correctional science, and emergency medical services.

Tune in as Chancellor Dr. Mike Flores sits down with Alicia Butler, Academic Engagement Lead at the National Security Agency (NSA) in Texas, and Michael Enriquez, a student in the Bachelor of Applied Technology (BAT) in Cybersecurity program at St. Philip’s College, to explore how partnerships in higher education are shaping the future of digital security.
