This year’s annual ACE Ball celebrated ACE’s 25th birthday. Jeffrey Messinger, STV Inc. Team 11, was named the 2019 Mentor of The Year. We recognized the hard work and compassion of the hundreds of mentors that make up ACE GNY as well as our firms for their continued support. Mentors enjoyed games and hors d’oeuvres as they celebrated another year with ACE GNY.
Mentors from across the 49 ACE GNY teams met at the Frying Pan to discuss the upcoming final presentations, opportunities for students, and their individual work projects.
Mentors from ACE GNY engaged in a panel discussion on the future of the industry, including how new technologies and how firms can prepare themselves. Panelists included Jonatan Schumacher (WeWork); James Garrison (Garrison Architects); and Robert Hubner (Turner Construction). Panel discussion moderated by Jesse Chrismer (Entuitive).
Mentors from ACE GNY participated in a discussion on the importance of networking from Victoria Cerami (Cerami & Associates). Mentors were guided by a scavenger hunt checklist to meet new mentors and exchange business cards.
Mentors were able to hear behind-the-scenes information about the Javits Center expansion project from Marcos Diaz Gonzalez (AECOM) and Alan Steel (Javits Center). Mentors asked questions and learned more about the project, including the new green-roof and energy saving strategies.
Founded in 1994 by a group of leading architects, contractors and engineers in New York City, the program has served over 65,000 students nationwide and over 13,000 students in New York alone. Today, more than 9,000 students and 3,600 mentors participate in ACE each year in 37 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
