Join us to celebrate Jennifer Ellison’s many years of service to ACU! We will be in the Hunter Welcome Center, East Lobby on Tuesday, February 19th from 1-2 p.m.! P.S. this is a SURPRISE!

Throughout the fall semester, Residence Life, in cooperation with Dr. Scott Self, piloted a living/learning community of first-generation freshmen students. As we worked through this program in the fall semester, we desired to gather a larger campus community of current and former first-generation students to demonstrate to our current first-generation students that they are not alone on-campus, as well as demonstrate the success of other first-generation faculty, staff, alumni.

Please join us for an interest meeting and collaborative conversation about our campaign, as well as a discussion of our findings from our 1Gen living/learning community from the fall semester. Mark your calendars for Wed., Feb. 27 from 11:30-1:00 in the Adams Center classroom. We are very excited for you to join us. All faculty and staff are invited to attend, so please feel free to invite others to join you.
