Gallery: ISA’s Ethnos event embraces the diverse cultures of the ACU community

November 7, 2023 by Sarah Thompson

This year’s annual Ethnos show took place over Friday and Saturday nights at the Boone Family Theatre. Organized by the International Student Association, the theme Ethnos this year was “Echoes,” and showcased 16 different acts led by various student organizations and local Abilene groups. The night ended with Global Worship’s performance of “Echo” by Elevation Worship in multiple languages.

"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.
