Campus wide we are seeing great reduction in energy usage. This is due, in part, to the Faculty and Staff’s participation in shutting off lights, computers and personal printers. While we are grateful for your participation, please remember that all NETWORK COPIERS & PRINTERS need to remain on. These printers & copiers are monitored by procurement and need to be available for remote access. At the end of the day please make sure the copier or printer is in energy saver mode. This will still allow for remote access and save energy. If you have any questions about this feel free to email ben.rude@acu.edu. Thank you for your participation in the energy program.

Our parents in the Fourth Quarter of Life: It is a subject no one likes to consider, as if thinking about it might cause it to happen. Often, it is a total surprise and many who have walked the path wish they had planned ahead of time. Earlier cultures and religions have prescribed rituals that are carried out by the family and community, but in many cases today, no one knows what to do.
