Winter Court postponed...again
|
The School of Rhetoric's annual formal banquet event, Winter Court, re-scheduled for Friday, Feb. 26, has been postponed yet again. We will now work with our venue, Oklahoma Aquarium, to secure a new date for the Spring.
Why the decision to postpone (again)?
Winter Court is filled with wonderful ACA tradition. One of which is inviting members of the New Order of Augustine (an ACA alumni group) to the dinner, and to participate in the crowning of the King and Queen. Due to the continued concerns with COVID-19, the decision was made to keep the event limited to only ACA students and staff.
The response from students indicated that the traditions of the event were far more important than the date. Therefore, we will postpone Winter Court until the Spring in hopes that time will bring improved community health conditions.
We appreciate the mature decision of our student leaders, and look forward to celebrating with all our ACA family in the Spring. Please contact Mr. Ahrens with any questions.
