Our Mission
Even the most equipped and talented faculty members cannot know or meet the diverse needs of students with different identities and lived experiences. Inviting students and faculty into dialogue fosters a sense of belonging among students that enhances academic engagement and success, aligning directly with ACU’s commitment to a vibrant, faith-centered student experience.
