As the months roll by, we continue to adapt and alter the way we go about our everyday lives as we learn to live with the constraints caused by COVID-19. However, through it all we have had each other and we are warmed by the stories of kindness among colleagues at ACU.
We take this time to thank our colleagues for all your efforts to look out for each other, check in and remain connected, because we truly are stronger together.
