My son’s involvement with the ACE Mentor program has been invaluable. His mentors have engaged him in a way that increased his interest in engineering, and showed him how these skills can be applied in real-life settings. ACE has influenced his career plans, and the choice of colleges to which he is now applying. ACE also has given him a network of both professionals and fellow students he can follow into college and beyond. Our son is fortunate to have been involved with ACE.
