Monthly Meetings & Topics

The A.C.E Peer Mentors Program meets twice a month, hosting one workshop and one group activity. Each month’s meetings include resource presentations and open conversations, giving students the opportunity
to come together as a community and participate in a variety of activities. Workshops are led by mentors, faculty, and staff. In addition to these gatherings, A.C.E also holds a monthly mentor check-in where mentors, coordinators, and the Program Advisor review expectations, discuss upcoming schedules, and address any questions or concerns for the month ahead. These check-ins are exclusively for A.C.E Peer Mentors.
