The Center for International Education is offering its Friendship Family Program again this semester. The program pairs an international student with a U.S. American family. The student and family will meet once a month during the length of the semester so that students can see a U.S. family’s home and be a part of the family’s life. If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact Leanne Moore at lmm10b@acu.edu.

This smash off-Broadway hit takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where we meet the Wonderettes, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! As we learn about their lives and loves, we are treated to the girls performing classic 50s and 60s songs such as Lollipop, Dream Lover, Stupid Cupid, Lipstick on Your Collar, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, It’s My Party, and more than 20 other classic hits! You have never had this much fun at a prom and you will never forget The Marvelous Wonderettes, a must-take musical trip down memory lane!

Welcome back from Christmas break! As the weather is now colder the way we handle energy consumption changes. Please take a moment to review the ACU adopted Energy Conservation and Building Management Guidelines. It is important to remember that the goal of the energy program is not to make things uncomfortable. If you are finding your area is constantly too cold/hot, please let facilities management know as soon as possible. We also want to remind you that Network Copiers are exempt from being shut off. It is important that these remain on for billing purposes and updates. There is an energy savor mode that can be enabled to allow savings while still being able to communicate on the network. If you have any further questions please email Facilities Management or ben.rude@acu.edu. Thank you and have a great semester!
