This year, we will host a combined Faculty and Staff Presession for residential employees, immediately following Faculty Presession, in Moody Coliseum at 1 p.m. on August 19. Over the past year, many of you have contributed to something we’ve been building together – a clearer, more unified way of telling ACU’s story to the world. At this combined presentation for all faculty and staff, we’ll celebrate that work together at the ACU Brand Launch.

Be on the lookout for more information coming soon about this important conversation for faculty and staff from both campuses.

The Office of Student Engagement is excited to invite ACU faculty and staff to one of the biggest events of Wildcat Week! Join us for a live performance by the Eli Young Band on Friday, August 22, at Moody Coliseum. Doors will open at 7:00 p.m., with the concert beginning at 8:00 p.m. Faculty and staff are invited to attend at a discounted rate of $15.
