The Siburt Institute for Church Ministry invites you to the 2019 Lunch and Learn. Jerry Taylor will speak on the topic, “Why Courage Matters!” In a culture where the threat of loneliness frightens us into silence we will explore the meaning of courage and its necessity as a legitimate response to the fear of social rejection. The lunch will take place in the Hunter Welcome Center from 11-1:30 p.m. on August 29. The regular cost of the seminar is $15, which includes lunch. The cost is $13 for ACU faculty and staff (use code PURPLE); and if you happen to be a student, the cost is just $8 (use code STUDENT). Register today at acu.edu/alumni.

ACU is a proud sponsor of the “Tools for Schools” supply drive presented by KTAB/KRBC/Telemundo Abilene. Beginning today through Thursday, August 8 at 8 a.m. bring new school supplies to the University Marketing located in the Vanderpool building (1718 Campus Ct). Review a list of recommended school supplies by clicking here. For more information, contact Emerald Cassidy at exc04g@acu.edu.

We will be collecting school supplies that teachers typically purchase and pay for out of their own pockets. The goal is to give these supplies to young ACU Alumni teaching in the Abilene area. Please bring these supplies to the Staff Pre-Session where we will have a collection bin. Supplies needed are: Crayons, markers, glue, pencils, tissues, hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, and Band-aids.

The Cashier desk in the Financial Operations office will be open every weekday, starting Monday, August 12th, from 1:30-4:30 p.m.

Hendrick Regional Blood Center supplies blood to Abilene hospitals as well several counties surrounding Taylor County. Currently, the blood supply is LOW, and the ACU Biology Department has coordinated a blood drive with the blood center to try to help out.

The blood bus will be at the ACU campus on Tuesday August 6th from 10 AM- 4 PM to collect blood donations. Look for signs in the lobby of Halbert Research Center guiding you to HAL 101 to sign up to donate. Please help us to spread the word to anyone on campus and/or your community who might be willing to donate blood. It normally only takes about 20 minutes. WALK-INS ARE WELCOME! Help us to make this a successful blood drive!

ACU Operations department is fully committed to participating in the community’s recycling and waste reduction programs.  Due to a recent decision from the City of Abilene and Texas Metals & Recycling Co. to stop recycling plastic,  the Operations Warehouse will no longer be collecting plastic from the campus. If you manage or know who manages plastic recycling bins in your area, please assist in having these removed. Our other recycling programs:  blue bag (paper), batteries, cardboard, shredding, bulb crushing, and aerosol can crushing will continue. Email warehouse@groupmail.acu.edu to request these services. Please contact the Operations Warehouse with any questions at ext. 2365.
