Since their graduation in 2021, this exceptional group of students has remained bonded not just by memories but by a deep commitment to each other’s lives and futures. What sets the ACAS 2021 class apart is how they’ve turned their academic bond into a lasting network of support, celebration, and shared goals.

Through their association, the Absaris alumni have consistently organized reunions, group projects, and outreach activities that bring everyone back together. Each event serves as a reminder that graduation was not the end, but the beginning of a lifelong journey as a family.

Their recent get-together again demonstrated their unity in action. Members travelled from far and wide, rearranging their schedules to be part of something greater than themselves.
