The Association of Commuter Students (ACS) began in 1974 as the “Women’s Commuter Organization,” later known as the “Road Runners.” The now-dubbed Association of Commuter Students has transformed over the years into a strong network of spirited University of Miami students and alumni.
ACS is a “Home Away from Home” for its members and serves as a place to bond with fellow students and participate in all the University of Miami offers. It is not merely a club, but a family. ACS has a long tradition of involvement in a range of campus events including Homecoming, service days, intramurals, and more. You can find ACS in the first row of the football stadium, cheering on members during Homecoming events, as well as occupying various leadership positions throughout the University. ACS provides its members with a working knowledge of UM that gives them the opportunity to become fully involved in campus life.
An invaluable resource to all its members, ACS also provides a unique chance to become part of a community of dedicated and extraordinary friends. Brought together by a simple fact of life, commuting to school, ACS members have forged bonds that extend beyond this common circumstance. ACS members form friendships that last a lifetime.
