About Us

Purple Outfitters is run by current ACU students who have been given leadership opportunities through the Griggs Center for Entrepreneurship & Philanthropy. 

Kate Hansen - CEO 

Hi! I am currently a senior at ACU studying business management with a focus in entrepreneurship from Austin, Texas. I am involved with the Griggs Center and Sigma Theta Chi on campus. As CEO, I oversee operations, strategic planning, finances, marketing, and team leadership to ensure we provide valuable products to the campus community. My goal for PO is to bring a bigger following and make it more known on campus and even around Abilene. I am thrilled to be working with Purple Outfitters this year and I cannot wait to bring our ideas to life!
