ACU values leadership — the kind that stands in front of the group and the kind at work behind the scenes. Our mission is to prepare students to serve and lead. ACU Leads is a new way to develop and support student leaders into servant leaders while aligning with Compass. First-year students and current leaders of student organizations will earn badges to mark their progress along their journey.
“Everyone of us is called to be a leader in some aspect, to use our gifts to lead. I have had so many leadership opportunities already. They’ve taught me humility and helped me gain confidence — confidence to ask questions, talk with my professors and take responsibility for my own education.”

ACU Leads will enhance student leadership development across campus, reflecting our mission and strategic plan through two tracks to reach students. Incoming freshmen will follow the Emerging Leader track as they become acquainted with ACU and our vision for the world beyond campus. Established students who are selected as leaders by their peers and professors will pursue the Elected Leader track to leverage the most potential for themselves and the organizations they lead.
