Cornerstone Spotlights are a tradition. Once a week during the fall semesters, freshmen at ACU have packed into Cullen Auditorium to hear a member of ACU\u2019s faculty give a talk about their respective field of study. The Learning Studio has been intimately involved from the beginning, helping structure, design and film each presentation, and preserving them online for later viewing.<\/span><\/p>\n [Watch: What is Cornerstone?<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n The talks, called Spotlights, have long represented the largest weekly course gatherings on campus\u2014<\/span>a polished, professionally produced experience<\/span><\/a> in which virtually every ACU student from the past decade has participated.
