Over the past month, a handful of faculty and staff piled in to an SUV armed with hundreds of trivia cards and trekked to three college campuses across Arkansas to eat dinner and reconnect with recent CAC alumni. Teachers, administration and former students alike laughed over pizza and reminisced about their favorite Mustang Mountain memories.
At each campus the group visited (Harding University, Arkansas State University and Arkansas Tech) Danny Sullivan said he was encouraged to see the wide age-range of alumni who attended, from freshmen to graduate school students. Sullivan said that as soon as the students entered the room, their faces lit up with a sense of familiarity and comfortableness.
Melissa Leverett sensed the comfortableness as well, and said the word “family” was used multiple times to describe the Mountain.
“Even the kids who weren’t always actively involved in high school said that we shouldn’t change the family atmosphere. They kept saying that there is something different about CAC in a positive way, and that we should never lose the idea that we are a family,” Leverett said.
