He also was recently inducted into Phi Theta Kappa, the national community college honor society, and into Las Mascaras, the on-campus theatre fraternity at TJC. For the fall, Austin will be serving as co-captain of the TJC forensic team, and vice president of TJC’s National Forensic Chapter, as well as your Senate Executive President. Austin is a hard-working, down to Earth kind of person who puts others before himself. He strives for success and is extremely excited for the upcoming year!

I promise to be a real person that you can come to with any and all issues!”. | |
