Sean Hassan was elected to the Austin Community College Board of Trustees in 2016, the first Muslim American elected in Austin, Travis County, and potentially all of Central Texas. Last month, the Board approved the opening of a Childcare Facility at the ACC Highland campus, so that ACC students who have young children and no childcare can drop their children off for a couple of hours, on campus, while they study, get tutoring, or take an exam. This was one of Sean’s key campaign issues, though he is the first to say that this is only a start to addressing the needs of parents who are attending ACC to improve their future. Sean spent much of his professional life in the non-profit sector including as a Vice-President with the Boys & Girls Clubs.
