Young Alumnus of the Year

The Alumni Advisory Board was grinnin' after pickin' rising Texas music star Aaron Watson ('00) as the 2011 Young Alumnus of the Year. In the decade since graduating from ACU, Watson has become not only a popular musician but an impressive businessman, building his independent company, Big Label Records, along with a growing audience of fans.

Watson will be honored in an on-campus ceremony on Tuesday, April 26, at 6 p.m. at the Hunter Welcome Center. Alumni and the general public are invited. Registration details are coming soon.
