In 1988 I graduated from high school and was trying to decide where to continue my education. I decided to follow some friends and attend the University of North Texas in Denton. Not long before school started, I asked my parents if we could at least visit the ACU campus. They excitedly drove me to Abilene. After a tour with Bob Gomez, the only thing I wanted to do was be a Wildcat. A couple of weeks later, I moved into my dorm room and realized God had a plan for me to be at ACU. Abilene Christian’s effect on me began with that visit and tour. It continued with four incredible years at a university where the staff and faculty cared for me, taught me, shaped me and inspired my direction. The relationships from my time as an ACU student continue today. My wife, college roommates and other friends enrich my life daily, and I am thankful for ACU being the place that brought us together. God had another adjustment in mind earlier this summer when I had the opportunity to begin a new role as the director of alumni relations and annual projects. Now I proudly participate in Purple Fridays and get to be on campus every day again. I am honored to be on a team at a university that works daily to prepare Christian leaders to make a real difference in the world, and I want my passion and engagement for ACU to grow stronger each year. Our office wants to make sure you remain connected to and engaged with ACU. We keep updated information on the alumni website and send a monthly e-newsletter to give you information about our events and alumni. Watch for ACU events in your hometown as well. Help us by hosting a Purple and White Party. We love it when alumni help us spread the word about ACU to prospective students. We hope to see you on campus at Homecoming to remember, renew and celebrate the special place this is to each of us. 䊱 – CRAIG FISHER (’92) Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Projects
