The CDC is strongly recommending you get a flu shot this year because it is possible to be infected with both viruses. You can find more information here. As always, you can make an appointment online or by calling 674-2625 to receive your flu shot at the medical clinic. This Thursday from 9:30-11, you may stop by without an appointment for the flu vaccine! The fee is $25 and free for all ACU insured employees, spouses and dependents.

In this challenging year, we want current ACU students to know they aren’t alone and that faculty and staff are united in supporting them. That’s why we’ve started  United in Prayer. When you register to participate, you’ll be matched with a student, or students, who have also signed up to participate. There is no expectation of contact – this is an opportunity for faculty and staff to lift up a student in prayer and for our students to know a Wildcat is praying for them.  Registration is open through Nov. 6.

In an effort to lower the number of COVID-19 cases on our campus, the university made the decision to limit most in-person gatherings with more than 25 people for the next two weeks. Consequently, we have made significant changes to tomorrow’s faculty and staff kickoff event and postponed ACU Night at the Zoo. The Alumni Relations team will send a separate email to registrants with updated information about these events. We have several virtual events still planned for this weekend – learn more at acu.edu/homecoming.

Shed Market sandwiches and Homecoming T-shirts will be available at the Hunter Welcome Center from noon –  2 p.m. on Saturday. Drive-through pickup will be available on the north portico side, and we’ll have tables set up on the west side of the building for walk-ups. Food and shirts will be available on a first come, first served basis.

The Maker Lab Homecoming Make & Take returns the Saturday of Homecoming, Oct. 17, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. This year we have two project options: a 9” x 18” felt ACU Pennant or an ACU Lightbox.

Registration required and one kit allowed per household. RSVP

Rowling. Come by, listen, and grab some candy! Each reader takes a 15-minute shift until the entire book is finished. Students, staff, and faculty readers are welcome!
