Scott Erickson is an artist, author, performance speaker, and creative curate who mixes autobiography, mythology, and aesthetics to create art and moments that speak to our deepest experiences. Using his passion and commitment to craft, Scott has been a working artist for over a decade and has had his work appear on CNN, National Geographic, and various magazines, newspaper outlets, and book covers. As a speaker, Scott brings his training as an educator and his experience as a visual communicator to all of his presentations. His goal is to bring something for his “A.D.D. brothers and sisters out there,”… making sure every speech is thoughtful, entertaining, wondrous, and filled with visual elements and live creating. His current show, “Say Yes: A Liturgy of Not Giving Up On Yourself,” juxtaposes story-teaching, participation, humor, and image curation as Scott walks us through the very personal and universal conversation about the death of a dream and the overwhelming voice of Giving Up in our lives.
Don’t miss his performance on Sunday night, February 19th, or his time in chapel the following Monday, February 20th. See details of Scott’s visit to ACU here and learn more about Scott and his work here.

Human Resources has launched the ACU Braggin’ Wagon, a way for departments to recognize one another. HR filled the Braggin’ Wagon with breakfast and delivered it to the Student Life Offices in the Campus Center to thank them for all their work, especially the things the rest of the campus never sees or hears about. It is up to Student Life to reload the Braggin’ Wagon with fun and recognize another department shortly. Keep up with the Braggin’ Wagon here.
Human Resources would like to invite all Faculty and Staff to enjoy a Christmas Luncheon in the Bean. Lunch will be served from 11:30 – 1:00 on Tuesday, December 19th. Lunch will be provided at no charge to Faculty and Staff with their ID Card. Family members and students may purchase a meal for $6.50.
