Abilene Christian University (ACU) recently posted a story about Jason Huang on its website as part of an ongoing Spotlight series. Jason is an outstanding young man who ELI 360 first placed at Abilene Christian High School and then at ACU. Both of these institutions provide opportunities for leadership development, character building and intellectual growth.
