On the second to last night of Wildcat Week 2023, campus welcomed Aaron Watson (’00) and Jenna Paulette for the Back to School Bash at Moody Coliseum on Friday night. Before the concert, SGA held a soda bar, featuring fun ACU-inspired drinks. Aaron Watson played many of his hit songs and stayed afterward for a meet and greet with students.
