“Homecoming is always an exciting weekend on campus for alumni, students and families to reminisce about their time at ACU and reconnect with friends,” said Craig Fisher (’92), associate vice president for advancement and alumni. “And for the first time, we’ll close it all out with live music and a drone show.”
