We wanted a theme that made that idea seem bold and active. There are more than 82,000 ACU alumni throughout the world. They live in 89 countries and every state in the United States. Morris said the idea of changing the world was brought up because so many alumni have influence where they are. It's more like an underlying message we want to keep around for a while.
Students seem to have accepted the message of the new theme, too.
No matter what we do, we should be changing the world for Christ. Morris agreed that ACU provides an atmosphere where students are encouraged to change the world around them. We want to make a difference. Recipients of the award can either be groups or individuals. They must be nominated for displaying characteristics that help the community around them, Morris said.
