Made in collaboration with the Blue Devil Network, the ACE Program is proud to release a special 10-Year Anniversary video on July 9, celebrating a decade of transformative global experiences for student-athletes.
Since its founding in 2015 thanks to the support and generosity of David Rubenstein, ACE has provided fully-funded summer service opportunities for over 315 student-athletes from Duke and Stanford, connecting them with community partners across 8 countries. The new video features reflections from ACE alumni and staff, as well as photos and videos from many of the 35 distinct virtual and in-person ACE programs that have been offered over the last decade.
The mini-documentary highlights the program’s evolution over the past ten years and shares how ACE has continued to grow, adapt, and inspire. As the program enters its second decade, the video speaks to the enduring values of service, purpose, and teamwork that define the ACE experience.
