ENTERTAIN YOUR POSSIBILITIES

“I joined the leadership team for Freshman Follies and got hooked in right away with every leadership position imaginable on campus. I’ve met a lot of cool people through my experiences.”

From the moment she set foot on campus, Eboni Wescott has immersed herself in making the most of her college experience.

Whether encouraging students as their residence hall advisor, helping direct student productions like Sing Song or working as a counselor for ACU Leadership Camps, she has surrounded herself with the joy of helping others discover their place.

“I love being involved with college students,” she says. “It’s such a formative four years. You’re becoming who you are supposed to be, and you are trying to figure out what that looks like. It’s been a blessing to occupy spaces with students who are figuring that out.”

Her time at ACU has sparked a desire to work in higher education after she graduates. “I want to help connect students to a community where they experience a sense of belonging,” she says. That desire was solidified when she accompanied a group of 27 high school students to Oxford with ACU’s Rising Scholar’s program.

“We walked around Oxford, learning a lot about the history of the city,” she says. “We got to do cool things like see Wicked and Les Miserables at the West End in London. I experienced things I’d never done before. I also learned a lot about myself while getting to create a community of safety and belonging for those kids.”

Eboni is grateful for her own experience at ACU. “A lot of people here are dedicated to seeing you grow as a person, seeing your walk with Christ grow. I enjoy helping leave people better than they were before, but I’m also leaving better than I was.”
