A message from Vice President Fr Anthony Casamento csma: While we may talk about and try to live our mission, we don’t usually take the time to celebrate intentionally, until now.
A point of distinction between ACU and almost every other university in Australia is our Catholic identity. And what defines this distinction is our mission - underlying all of our endeavours from our teaching and research to our community engagement and even team sports. And while we may talk about and try to live our mission, we don’t usually take the time to celebrate intentionally.
This is about to change!
Later this month, we will host our first-ever ACU Mission Week (28 August-2 September) featuring a range of events and activities both online and on-campus which showcase both who we are and what we do at ACU.
Watch a short video on our theme for Mission Week: We are ACU
There will be a wide variety of events for both staff and students to participate in with music, food stalls, competitions, giveaways and guest speakers. You can see our schedule of events in this ACU Mission Week article from today’s Bulletin, but I’d like to draw your attention to a few which you may wish to join and can look forward to:
Look out for more news about Mission Week events in your local campus Workplace group and be sure to join in some of the fun events throughout the week.
I look forward to the energy and excitement that will come from our community joining together to celebrate that because of our mission, we are ACU!
