AES Back to School Cookout

At the beginning of each fall, the AES club invites all faculty, staff and students to a Back to School cookout held at the Rhoden farm. The time spent together is always relaxing and geared towards getting to know each other. This year was no exception. The AES officers kept up the tradition of fun, laughter, fellowship and good food.  The hamburgers and hot dogs were awesome and the homemade ice-cream by our faculty was outstanding! Lots of talking and laughter between current students, new incoming freshmen and transfer students could be heard all evening. This year we have students from California to Florida and from Wyoming and Maine to right here in Abilene. The Back to School cookout also gives faculty, staff and students the opportunity to engage their families in the event building community amount all involved.

A&E is excited about the academic year ahead. The Back to School cookout helped bring everyone together. Together we can accomplish and achieve great things with our amazing student body, faculty and staff. Here’s to this next year!
