“What I love about ACU the most is the international community. Learning from people from within and outside of the United States has opened my perspective in ways I had never imagined, and the international community has provided me with a place and purpose that makes me feel deeply connected.” – TAKUMA TSUNEKI, ENGLISH TEACHING MAJOR FROM JAPAN
