Gallery: Football holds spring preview day

April 18, 2023 by Daniel Curd

The ACU football team is gearing up for the upcoming season and the team held a spring preview event Saturday that featured a scrimmage between the offensive and defensive teams. In addition to the scrimmage, ACU also offered a tour of the Club Suite Level of the stadium, as well as information on season ticket sales. The first 500 fans also had the opportunity to grab a schedule poster and get autographs and pictures with the players.

My second year at ACU was full of opportunities that grew me as an individual and a journalist.

In my first year as editor in chief of @acuoptimist, we published six print issues, filmed a 3-hour live election show, and revamped our newscast, all while producing news weekly.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
