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.
