About Us
"It is hard to describe what a course union is to someone who has never been in a large-scale project before. It is a group of people who come together, because of nothing but their major, and they try to make things that benefit all ACS students. Every year, the projects are individual with it in the first place. Nevertheless, the ACSCU is a home base for collaboration; for ideas.
"Ideas that shape the world," that's the mantra ACS students lead their lives by. It is also what makes them phenomenally interesting idea makers. During times when getting together is tough the ACSCU continues to meet , and it is nice to meet with ACS students. They are oftentimes so open to ideas.
They have cocktail conversation for any situation, but have also studied some of the most influential ideas of all time. Not all of them -- no ACS student would be fool enough to believe that -- but they’ve reached far into the depths of time, drudging the pail of knowledge.
Welcome to the ACSCU and the ACS program, and learning how to recognize the ideas in everything.”
- Brea Scott (President 2020-2021)
