A blog on the latest news and events for ACU faculty and staff
Offices will close at 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 13, to allow faculty and staff to attend the Homecoming Carnival at 5 p.m. on the lawn of the Hardin Administration Building and Campus Court. Please display appropriate signage at your offices to notify students and visitors in advance. Carnival registration this year is cashless; you can pre-register children online.
Just a reminder that Friday’s paycheck (09/29) did not have deductions taken out for benefits except for retirement and (if applicable) ACU gifts. Also, vacation and sick do not accrue on the 3rd check because employees have already received their full monthly accrual amount with the previous two checks.
The ACU Press & Leafwood Publishers will be offering 40–50% off new titles and up to 80% off select backlist books, October 11–13th. Please visit the display that will be set up in the Brown Library across from the Circulation Desk. Sales hours will be 9–4 on Wednesday and Thursday, and from 9–1 on Friday. We will be accepting payments by card (Square) or via check.
