\u201cI never thought that Theatre would ever have a place in the mission field until God called me to the mission field. ACU Missions equipped me in opening up to what God\u2019s Kingdom can look like, and my life has not been the same since. It is a transformational experience to see the love of God throughout the world and to witness how the Gospel can drastically impact the lives of people.\u201d<\/div>\n

“I am so thankful for the opportunity to participate in the Undergraduate Research Festival as a member of the ACU McNair Scholars Program. My project would not have been possible without the guidance and mentorship of Dr. Steven Moore, James Scudder, and the wonderful professors that encouraged me along the way. My time as a McNair Scholar has added to my already amazing experience as an ACU student and has helped me grow as a researcher.”

“Living in Leipzig for a semester was an unforgettable adventure! It gave me the opportunity to learn and grow in a new environment while immersed in rich history, culture, and traditions. Not only did I fall in love with Leipzig, but I also collected memories and experiences that will last a lifetime! Studying abroad transformed and broadened my global perspective, shaping me into who I am today! Do not miss out on the opportunity to live and learn abroad in Leipzig!”<\/span><\/p>\n
