Gallery: ACU Fest Brings the Abilene Community to incoming students

August 25, 2023 by Sarah Thompson

SGA held its annual ACU Fest at the Campus Mall on Thursday, bringing the community of Abilene to our newest students. The event brought together student organizations, local churches, the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA), the International Students Association (ISA), and various multicultural groups, offering attendees the chance to learn about the myriad engagement opportunities available on campus as well as different spiritual life activities off campus.

"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."
