Current Programs

After COVID-19 led to the cancellation of international travel in March 2020, ACE developed “ACE in Place” – an optional five-week online engagement experience for our 2020 accepted student-athletes. ACE in Place provided participants with the opportunity to join the ACE community and prepare for future engagement experiences. Read more about ACE in Place.
