Meet Bill
culpOriginally from: Little Rock, Arkansas

What I want to give my students:
Three things I hope my students see in me and remember:

First, an ability to understand and relate to life as it is, accepting both the good and the bad as building blocks for service and leadership.

Second, to strive to make life what it can be through stepping out of the security of the pack and responding to situations calling for service and leadership.

Third, to do all with a consciousness of God's presence, His mandate for our service and His help in facing the challenges of service and leadership.

What I expect from my students:
I expect students to be willing to walk with me on a path that adds the strength of educational exercises to the framework of a faith-driven life, opens new doors of thought and stimulates a love for service and leadership.

Why I am at ACU:
