CaSaundra Jackson - Student Reporter A farewell to ACU Amanda Reiter Cap, gown and graduation invitation, all symbols of achievement at ACU, sit in front of Sewell Theatre. Students spend a lot of energy and emotion to receive one piece of paper - a diploma. Such pieces of paper say students are qualified to pursue careers in their chosen fields. But students' plans after receiving degrees vary.
Many students have plans after graduation.
Some have jobs in line, some plan to go to graduate school and others aren't really sure what their plans will be. Maisha Ballard, senior political science major from Killeen, said she wants to stay in Abilene. Ballard wants to get a job in the Multi-Cultural Enrichment center. If those plans don't work out, Ballard will look for a job as a legal assistant. Further down the road, Ballard plans to go back to school to get her law degree.
