Dr. Wes Crawford (’02 M.Div.), vice provost, will give the charge to the graduate class at the Friday ceremony. Kevin Washington (’11 M.A.), associate athletics director and athletics chaplain at Baylor University, will give the charge to the undergraduate class at both ceremonies on Saturday. Washington played football at Notre Dame and ACU, earning bachelor’s degrees in sociology and film and television and master’s degrees in communication and biblical counseling.

All three ceremonies will be livestreamed; visit acu.edu/commencement for more information.

Honorary Doctorate

At the Saturday morning ceremony, ACU will award an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters to Barbara (Bell ’50) Packer. Alongside her late husband and former ACU board chair, H. Lynn Packer (’50), she played an integral role in advancing the mission of ACU through investment and support of initiatives that shaped the university’s spiritual and academic identity. The Packer family’s impact is reflected in the Onstead-Packer Biblical Studies Building, the Robert S. and Katherine Bell Chapel on the Hill, two endowed chairs in the College of Biblical Studies and the Packer Scholars program.

Outlive Your Life Award

In both Saturday ceremonies, Dr. Perry Reeves (’65) will be awarded the Dale and Rita Brown Outlive Your Life Award. A longtime member of ACU’s chemistry faculty, Reeves’ love of teaching and research made him an inspiration and mentor to generations of future scientists, science teachers and medical professionals. The Outlive Your Life Award is named for its first recipients, Dale and Rita Brown, and for the book by ACU alumnus Max Lucado, Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make a Difference. The award recognizes all types of servant leadership exhibited by friends or alumni of the university.

Alumnus Shares Story of Survival at United Nations

Kayla Hewitt — Mon, 04 May 2026 16:16:54 +0000

At age 8, Serge Gasore (’09), witnessed the deaths of his grandmother and brothers during the Rwandan Genocide. An experience that could have robbed him of hope instead instilled in him a calling to promote peace and justice. When Gasore was asked to share his story on one of the world’s largest stages, that calling gave him the courage to say yes.

Gasore addressed the United Nations General Assembly on April 7 as part of a ceremony marking the International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. In a powerful account of survival, he urged the audience to remember the victims and pursue “unity, reconciliation and dignity.”

He said he hopes the UN will remain vigilant against ongoing hate and division, refusing to turn away. In doing so, he says, “we can all proclaim ‘never again’ in an authentic way,” not only in words but in action.

While revisiting his story can be painful, Gasore also finds it therapeutic to share. “For survivors, every time someone is willing to listen to you, it helps you make it to the next day,” he says. “It helps you feel like, ‘What I went through, someone wants to listen to.’”

In his day-to-day life, Gasore lives out the message of his speech. He and his wife, Esperance, founded , a holistic ministry serving the physical and spiritual needs of children and their families, regardless of their background. The ministry now serves over 1,500 people per day.

Gasore envisions those children growing up to transform their communities. “We are all called to serve and bring peace and bring justice,” he says.

Each year, groups of ACU students partner with Gasore and Rwanda Children to serve these families. Engineering students surveyed the property for an erosion control project. Nursing students assist in the medical clinic. The ACU women’s basketball team will host a basketball clinic in August.

Gasore, who received in 2018, is grateful for these partnerships and the relationships he built during his seven years at ACU.

“ACU not only gave me an education and prepared me to go to serve God, they also transformed my community,” he said.

Whether on the world stage, at home in Abilene or back in his home village, Gasore continues to share a message of restoration: “Even in the darkest moment, hope can survive.”

ACU Gives Campaign Raises Record $1.4 Million in Two Days

Wendy Kilmer — Fri, 01 May 2026 19:15:45 +0000

More than 1,500 alumni, faculty, staff, students, friends and fans joined together to raise a record $1.4 million – all to directly benefit students at �鶹��ýӳ��. The total is a record high and the first time in its nine-year history for the event to top $1 million in contributions. It also represents a 57% increase over last year’s ACU Gives.

“The ACU community is truly unmatched,” said Blair Schroeder, vice president for advancement and external affairs. “Wildcats around the world stepped up to support our students and the mission of ACU, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

During the 1,906-minute-long event, in honor of the year of ACU’s founding, ACU Gives participants chose from more than 38 specific funds to support in four main areas of emphasis:

Student support, access and scholarships
Academic excellence, experiential learning and career preparation
Student belonging, traditions and campus life
Faith, service, global and calling
Athletics

“Thank you for believing in ACU, but more importantly for believing in our students – in the purpose and promise of their lives,” said Dr. Phil Schubert, president. “We are so grateful for your willingness to partner with us in the journey to shape the lives of young men and women into the image of Jesus.”

The event, featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annette Gordon-Reed, is free and open to the public.

“This year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence.

Gordon-Reed is the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard University. She has won 16 book prizes, including the Pulitzer Prize in history in 2009 and the National Book Award in 2008 for The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family. Her most recent book is On Juneteenth, a memoir and history of Texas. A selected list of honors includes a Guggenheim Fellowship in the humanities, a MacArthur Fellowship, the National Humanities Medal, the Frederick Douglass Book Prize, the George Washington Book Prize and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award.

FilmFest Gets Students on Set in Abilene and Beyond

Wendy Kilmer — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 20:22:00 +0000

Colby Matzner celebrates his People’s Choice win

ACU’s student film festival returned to the historic Paramount Theatre this spring for the 22nd premiere event to celebrate student achievement in film. The event featured projects from 14 teams, including narrative, documentary and animated films represented.

The theme of FilmFest 2026 was “On Set,” and the evening included past and present judges and mentors describing the experience of being on a film set. Tim Holt (’15), a past FilmFest participant and ACU’s Young Alumnus of the Year, described the challenge of stepping onto a new set.

“We’re always trying to make bigger and better videos, and the sets change from shoot to shoot from smaller sets of teams of three to four to bigger shoots which will have probably 50 to 60 people on set. The roles might be carried over but you’re always going to be learning something new based on the type of content that you’re trying to produce.”

More than 100 students participated in producing this year’s films, with a third of those students working on more than one film. In fact, five students this year contributed to at least five films, including Brooke Musia and Lauren Burris who won Best Direction for their film After Emmy and Abbey Monroe who directed the Best Picture winner Courting, along with writer, editor and sound roles on other films.

The crowd responds to Abbey Monroe’s Best Picture win.

Joshua Varner won Best Cinematography for Sins and Cinders, but shot or helped shoot three other films. One of the stand-out-performances this year came from a sophomore multimedia major participating in FilmFest for the first time. Jaden Frecka won Best Original Score for his film Keeping up with the King but also wrote original music for six other films or, in all, half of all submitted films.

During the event, students also heard from Randy Brewer (’93), long-time producer with Revolution Pictures in Nashville now in Abilene as ACU’s chief storyteller. Brewer told students it’s “important to network long before you graduate.” He partnered with FilmFest last May on a road trip to Nashville that included visits to sets and production studios where students met professionals in a range of fields. “You may think, like I did, ‘I want to be a director,’ and then when you get out there, you may change your mind and think, ‘Maybe I’d be better at what they do.’ I think everyone should look for a mentor.”

This year’s judges were industry mentors from production hubs in L.A., Tulsa and Atlanta. Sommerly Simser (‘10) is a returning judge and finance executive at Netflix. She is a member of the Television Academy and Women in Film and is the founder of the Tinseltown Scholarship Society, a nonprofit supporting aspiring college filmmakers.

Two new mentors joined the FilmFest Gala this year. Amy Teague is a set decorator and production designer from Tulsa whose credits include Twisters, Reservation Dogs, The Low Down and The Great Awakening currently in theatres. Nate Corrona comes from Dustbrand Films in Atlanta having directed and produced more than 200 music videos with Grammy-winning artists like Crowder, PJ Morton and Lecrae. Both met with students this year to share their experience and provide feedback leading up to the FilmFest Gala.

Brewer advised students that opportunities to connect with mentors or get chances to be on set exist through FilmFest. “Who are the mentors at FilmFest who are people you can go up to and ask could I have coffee with you? What are some ways I should be on set? You have the opportunity to be mentored more, but you just need to step out.”

More than 140 students from �鶹��ýӳ�� and other nearby schools presented a variety of research findings and creative projects April 7 at ACU’s 18th annual Undergraduate Research, Creativity and Innovation Festival.

A related event – the Excellence in Oratory Forum – took place the night before the festival, showcasing students’ public speaking skills. A segment of the forum featured performances of scriptural passages and powerful speeches delivered by the likes of John F. Kennedy, Frederick Douglass, Barbara Jordan, Gabriela Mistral and C.S. Lewis.

At the festival, undergraduate students from ACU – as well as McMurry University and Abilene High School – shared the results of their research and projects. Attendees were able to observe findings and creative works across a spectrum of disciplines, including biology, engineering, physics, history, literary criticism, rhetorical criticism, biochemistry, biblical studies, missiology and marketing.

“This diversity reflects ACU’s commitment to helping train students to love the Lord with all their heart, mind, soul and strength,” said Dr. Randall Fowler, director of undergraduate research, creativity and innovation. “This festival showcases the best and breadth of ACU, and I applaud our students’ hard work and dedication to their scholarly craft.”

The event concluded with a dinner and presentation of awards for top scholars, Faculty Mentors of the Year, and outstanding presentations, posters and speeches.

ACU Remembers: Dr. Ed George

Wendy Kilmer — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:15:18 +0000

�鶹��ýӳ�� professor emeritus of music Dr. Silas Edwin “Ed” George (’61), died March 25, 2026, in Schertz, Texas, at age 89.

A Celebration of Life is planned for May 24 from 2-4 p.m. in the Williams Performing Arts Center at ACU.

He was born Sept. 22, 1936, in Fort Stockton, Texas, and briefly attended Cisco College before earning a B.S.Ed. degree in music (1961) and a M.Ed. in school administration (1963) from ACU and a doctorate in music education (1983) from the University of North Texas. He wed classmate and fellow ACU band member Kathryn Matthews (’62) on Sept. 5, 1960.

George was a band director in Texas public schools, including De Leon and Abilene ISDs, for eight years (1961-69) before starting a 32-year career on the ACU faculty to teach music history, theory, orchestration and music education. He played multiple instruments and taught at Abilene Christian from 1969-2001, serving as professor and chair (1990-96) in the Department of Music and initially directing the Jazz Ensemble.

George arranged and conducted ACU ensembles for more than three decades.

For much of the late 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s, he directed The Hilltoppers – also known as the Hilltop Singers – a talented group of students who performed pop-rock and contemporary music shows and toured overseas in 1968, 1972, 1974, 1976, 1977, 1979 and 1981 for the USO (United Service Organization) and the U.S. Department of Defense, entertaining troops deployed across Europe; the Caribbean, Pacific and Mediterranean islands; and in the Far East. Hilltoppers included future recording artists and producers such as Grammy Award winners Dr. Brown Bannister (’75)��Ի��Ronnie Dunn (’76), Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame member Michael Blanton (’73) and Grand Ole Opry member Holly Dunn (’79).

George conducted the orchestra at ACU Homecoming musicals for 21 years (1969-83), and composed music for the 1981 inauguration of Dr. William J. Teague (’52), the university’s ninth president, and for Abilene 1906, ACU’s Centennial musical in 2005.

For nearly five decades, George prepared music for ACU students to perform at Sing Song, especially for several fraternities and sororities, and most notably for Sigma Theta Chi, which won the women’s division six straight years and eight of nine years from 2002-10, all with George as their arranger.

George wrote for symphonies around the nation, and performed with some of the world’s top vocalists and recording stars.

He was frequently a guest conductor following retirement in 2001, especially with the Abilene Philharmonic, while also writing music for orchestras in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. He was involved with the annual West Texas Rehabilitation Center Telethon since its beginning, conducting its orchestra for nearly 20 of its first 46 years (1971-2016), and either performing or coordinating music for the telecast.

George’s career included writing arrangements for the San Diego Symphony and the Cleveland Pops Orchestra, and performing with Bob Hope, Eddy Arnold, Andy Williams, Tony Bennett and Glen Campbell, among many others.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Olan George Sr. and Lula Florence George; a brother, Olan George Jr.; a sister, Dolores Crocker George; and Kathy, his wife of 64 years. Among survivors are children Melinda (George ’84) Hancock,��Glenna (George ’86) Miranda��Ի��Gregory George (’90); 10 grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; a brother, Lee Roy George; and sister Gwen George Wilbanks.

Wendy Kilmer — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 14:39:32 +0000

�鶹��ýӳ�� presented its two highest alumni honors at the annual Alumni Day Luncheon, Sunday, March 29, to John Warner, M.D., CEO of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and executive vice president at Ohio State, and to Tim Holt, vice president of post production for Dude Perfect.

Dr. Phil Schubert, ACU president, with Tim Holt (second from left) and Dude Perfect colleagues Shon Niswanger, Cory Cotton and Coby Cotton.

Tim Holt, Young Alumnus of the Year

This award recognizes professional achievement and/or distinguished service to �鶹��ýӳ��. To be eligible, a recipient must not be over 40 years of age at the time of selection.

Tim Holt (’15) produces videos that bring smiles to the faces of millions of viewers around the world, and he’s grateful his faith can play a starring role in his life’s calling.

The son of two ACU alumni, Holt arrived in Abilene and quickly showcased the skills that would eventually put his work on display to millions. He participated in the Los Angeles Film Studies Center and won multiple awards in ACU’s annual FilmFest competition, including best picture and best director during his senior year. He earned a bachelor’s degree in digital entertainment technology with a minor in digital media in 2015 and began working for the sports and comedy group just months after graduation.

Dude Perfect, which rose to prominence in part thanks to viral videos of increasingly elaborate trick shots and world-record attempts, now boasts more than 61 million YouTube subscribers who tune in to enjoy the content Holt helps film and edit. Regardless of their soaring popularity, members of the group maintain that their purpose is “about giving back, spreading joy, and glorifying Jesus Christ.” For Holt, this integration of faith and work is part of why he calls this opportunity the privilege of a lifetime. “I am really blessed because we are all actively striving to live out our faith,” he said.

Holt continues to give back to his alma mater, serving as a FilmFest judge and sharing his faith and experiences with students as a Chapel speaker and Young Alumni Forum panelist. He and his wife, D’Ann, have a five-year-old daughter, Everly, and live in Prosper, Texas.

John Warner, M.D., Outstanding Alumnus of the Year

This award honors timely recognition of lifetime achievement that brings honor to the university through personal and professional excellence and service to the university, church or community.

Throughout his career as a cardiologist and a leader of renowned institutions that train doctors, John Warner, M.D. (’87), has made a real difference in the world of medicine that will be felt for generations to come.

Warner arrived at ACU as an accomplished distance runner, and he lettered in track and field for the Wildcats as part of several NCAA Division II national championship teams. After graduating from ACU with a Bachelor of Science in biology, he attended Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and completed his residency in internal medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology at Duke University Medical Center. Warner eventually returned to UT Southwestern in Dallas, where he served as a cardiologist and an institutional leader for 20 years, helping oversee planning and construction of the William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital. He eventually became executive vice president for health affairs and CEO of the UT Southwestern Health System.

In 2023, Warner became CEO of and executive vice president at Ohio State. In this role, he leads an expansive organization encompassing six hospitals, a network of outpatient care and research facilities, and the College of Medicine. Under his leadership, the medical center is completing $3 billion in capital projects to advance its mission to improve health in Ohio and across the world through innovations and transformation in research, education, patient care and community engagement.

Warner served as president of the American Heart Association from 2017-18 and has been on its board of directors since 2014. He is married to fellow ACU alum, Lisa (Fielder ’89). They have two grown children and live in New Albany, Ohio.

ACU Awards Honorary Doctorate to Entertainer Amy Grant

Wendy Kilmer — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 15:34:22 +0000

Dr. Phil Schubert surprised entertainer Amy Grant with an honorary doctorate as part of the President’s CIrcle Dinner March 28.

�鶹��ýӳ�� presented six-time Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Amy Grant with an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree March 28 at the university’s annual President’s Circle Dinner. Grant also performed at the event, which honors ACU’s most generous donors.

The honorary degree recognizes her extraordinary contributions to contemporary Christian music and her enduring impact as an entertainer, storyteller and artist, said Dr. Phil Schubert (’91), ACU president.

Though not an alumna, Grant has historic connections to Abilene Christian. The late Jeanette (Scruggs ’50) Lipford, a beloved voice teacher at ACU, was a close family friend and coached Grant in her early career. Three Abilene Christian alumni were instrumental in managing or producing some of Grant’s first albums: , 2019 Outstanding Alumnus of the Year; Brown Bannister (’75), who received an honorary doctorate from the university last year; and Chris Christian (’73), a Distinguished Alumni Award winner in 2015. Another alumnus, Nashville author and minister Don Finto (’50), encouraged Grant in her career, and Grant was a close friend of the late Dr. Bob Hunter (’52), longtime administrator at ACU.

Grant has had several connections to ACU throughout her lifetime.

In addition, one of Grant’s early performances – as a 19-year-old English-major college student in 1980 – took place in ACU’s Cullen Auditorium, now known as Boone Family Theatre.

“Tonight, in the presence of so many members of the ACU community, I am excited to award you the university’s oldest and longest-running recognition – an honorary doctorate,” Schubert said to Grant in presenting the degree Saturday. “It’s our hope that this recognition not only honors your remarkable career but also inspires future generations of artists – perhaps some in this room with us tonight – to pursue their calling with the same level of dedication and integrity. Thank you, Amy, for all you’ve done to impact the Kingdom and spread the Gospel.”

Other recipients of an honorary degree from ACU include Charlton Heston; Byron Nelson; Tom Landry; Kent Brantly, M.D.; and Laura Bush.

About Amy Grant

Grant’s career spans more than 40 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums and four gold albums, her total career album sales have exceeded 30 million and over 1 billion global streams. Grant’s chart success includes six No. 1 hits, 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers. In addition to her six Grammy Awards, Grant has earned 26 GMA Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Music City Walk of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. She also is a member of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

ACU Dean Awarded Fulbright Scholar Grant to Taiwan

Wendy Kilmer — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 20:19:21 +0000

Dr. Jason Morris, dean of the Honors College and director of Lynay at �鶹��ýӳ��, has been awarded a prestigious Fulbright International Education Administrators (IEA) grant to Taiwan. This marks Morris’s third Fulbright award, highlighting his continued commitment to global engagement and academic excellence.

The Fulbright IEA Program supports U.S. higher education administrators in building capacity for international education, fostering institutional partnerships and enhancing campus internationalization efforts. Through this grant, Morris will engage with Taiwanese universities and educational leaders to explore best practices in global education, strengthen collaborative partnerships, and expand opportunities for ACU students and faculty abroad.

“International exchange is vital to preparing students for lives of leadership and service in a global society,” Morris said. “I am honored to represent ACU and to deepen partnerships that will benefit our students and our university community.”

Fulbright U.S. Scholars are faculty, researchers, administrators and established professionals who teach or conduct research in affiliation with institutions abroad. They engage in cutting-edge research, expand professional networks, and often continue collaborations initiated overseas – laying the groundwork for lasting institutional partnerships. Upon returning home, Fulbright Scholars enrich their campuses by sharing their experiences, inviting international scholars, and encouraging students to pursue study and research abroad.

Morris plays a key role in mentoring ACU students through the Fulbright application process each year, helping position them for competitive international scholarships and research opportunities. In the past 10 years, 17 ACU students have received Fulbright scholarships.

“Jason’s leadership in the Honors College and the Lynay program reflects a deep commitment to academic rigor, global learning and Christ-centered service,” said Dr. Susan Lewis, ACU provost and vice president for academic affairs. “His latest Fulbright award underscores his excellence in research and scholarship, and his commitment to ACU’s mission to prepare students to lead and serve around the world.”

About Fulbright
Since 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 400,000 accomplished students, scholars, teachers, artists, and professionals the opportunity to study, teach, and conduct research abroad. Fulbrighters exchange ideas, build people-to-people connections, and work to address complex global challenges. Notable alumni include 62 Nobel Laureates, 93 Pulitzer Prize winners, 82 MacArthur Fellows, and 44 heads of state or government.
