Austin Christian University named Erin Hill as the school's new provost during the summer.

Community Impact sat down with Hill to discuss the Christian university model, artificial intelligence, the school's offerings and plans for the future.

Tell me about Austin Christian University's modern Christian university model and what sets the school and its offerings apart from other schools in the Central Texas area.

Here at Austin Christian University, one of our benchmarks is Kingdom-builders. And so we're working on that in a lot of different ways. We have partnerships with world-class entrepreneurs. We're also building up our students in ways where they can actually participate in practicums and accelerator projects with industry leaders, with entrepreneurs, with companies. And so we're building that. They get to be able to be in the trenches. They are able to have an idea.

Heavy rainfall and potential flash flooding will threaten large parts of Texas this week, Gov. Greg Abbott told reporters Sept. 28.

The overview: The governor pointed to severe flooding that occurred in South-Central Texas in mid-July, damaging property, sweeping cars off roadways and killing two people. This week's storms will impact "a far more vast portion of the state" than the July flooding, he warned.

The details: Abbott said heavy rains will "really dramatically affect" the majority of the state on Sept. 30, and the National Weather Service noted that "North-Central Texas is a particular concern."

"We don't have the information needed right now to advise Texans on exactly what's going to happen in our rivers," Abbott told reporters. "I can tell you this, however: Everyone should expect the rivers to rise."
