Gallery: Alumni Association hosts rescheduled Homecoming event at Abilene Zoo

March 28, 2021 by Meghan Long

The Alumni Association invited the ACU community to spend a night at the Abilene Zoo on Saturday evening after having to reschedule the event from Homecoming weekend. Attendees enjoyed spending time together and had the opportunity to ride on the zoo train and carousel and visit the giraffe feeding station.
