From the CAT chat — having a great summer! Marlee got a haircut! Ella caught a million sunsets! Cheney is a boss! Kara is helping kids know Jesus! Gray loves his dog! Brenna went to Scotland! Flowers growing! Pickleball! Dog naps! Hikes! Popsicles! Random adventures!

Hope you’re having a great summer! Can’t wait for August!!!

Brenna here — I’m popping in with some end of year CAT photos in honor of graduation tomorrow for 3 of our team members (4 with Abby who was student teaching this semester!) and my 10 years at AU 🥹

Ali, Abby, Grayson, and Tate have faithfully served the CAT and this university for 2+ years, and we are so grateful to have gotten to encourage belonging and community, build cool events, and grow alongside them over the last few years. I’d make them stay except that the future (in education! in ministry! in coding! in the criminal justice system!) that God is building for each of them is too good for me to be selfish about. I cannot wait to see the incredible things they do! I thank God for y’all!

And wow, I can’t believe I’ve been in Student Activities at AU for 10 years, especially since I’m only 25 🤪 I cannot imagine a better place to belong to. Being Director of Student Activities is one of my greatest joys, and I am so grateful God gave me this to steward! There are few things I believe in more than creating community for God to move in. Grateful! Thankful! Here for as long as He’ll let me do it!

Seniors, we love you! We believe in you! The best is somehow still yet to come for all of us, how cool is that! Thanks be to God!

We loved this year with you 🫶🏼

Still not over it, won’t be for a long time. New favorite event 👑

An iconic night — our first ever Big Man On Campus was incredible! These guys are forever #1 in our hearts!

Still not over it!!!

The best ending to a great week 🥹 Spring Fever Week 2026, we loved you! A great time to be a Trojan!

You know it, you love it, and tomorrow, it’s BACK — Grocery Bingo is this Thursday! Grab your best luck and come play — 5 rounds for 5 incredible prize packs (here are hints: 💗💚🏔️🚗📦🕵🏽👟🌅🧦🎧🪄). It’ll be a packed house because our All Access friends will be here and we! can’t! wait!

8pm in Henderson. The prizes are ready (and we got your Krispy Kreme 🍩). Let’s play.

Our 5th annual 48-Hour Film Fest was a smash hit. 12 crews submitted box-office-worthy films to the competition, making the Watch Party a night of endless entertainment. A huge thank you to all of our directors, actors, videographers, and crew members for their 48 hours of work! We loved it!

Goin’ To Thrive took home the win — congratulations to Austin and his crew for winning this year’s event! 🏆
