Gallery: Freshman Follies highlights new students across the completed Freshman Village

September 24, 2024 by Daniel Curd

Freshman Follies returned to campus again in Boone Family Theatre for Family Weekend, with shows on Friday and Saturday. Participants got to bond with other students in their halls, having to create, plan, and rehearse their acts for weeks at a time. The Men of Mabee and Bullock won first place for their Halloween-themed act and the Women of Bullock 1st and 3rd Floor won for their Grannies act.

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."
