The session included a brief overview of Syracuse University and Q&A with the former ACE students.

ACE GNY students attended this webinar, led by program staff, on applying to scholarships and the ACE GNY scholarship in particular. Participants asked questions about essays, scoring, and standing out on applications. For a recorded copy of the webinar, email us at GreaterNY@acementor.org.

ACE GNY students heard from professors at Manhattan College about the Civil Engineering department and its areas of specialization: Construction Environmental Geotechnical Structural Transportation Water Resource.

Syracuse University hosted a virtual information session specifically for ACE GNY students and families to learn about Syracuse’s Engineering programs – aerospace, bioengineering, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, and mechanical. This webinar featured their Engineering admissions staff, current students, and alumni, many of whom are ACE alumni or mentors. Syracuse University also introduced students to the new scholarship for exclusively ACE students.

During this workshop, Assistant Dean Vittoria Buccina will provide insight on developing your portfolio in a manner that best showcases your creativity, curiosity, and spatial ability when applying to a Bachelor of Architecture program.

Overview of the Civil Engineering and Construction Management degree programs from professors of the school. Exclusively for ACE GNY students.

On October 16, 2019, the ACE Mentor Program of Greater NY hosted the annual Team Registration Fair. All of the NYC-based ACE GNY mentorship teams were present and recruiting students to their teams. Each team tabled with a board and a few mentors and high school students met each team and decided which team they wanted to join for the 2019-2020 Program Year.

The program kicked off in November 2019 with 53 mentor teams and 1300 enrolled students. Mentor teams will be meeting until May 2020, at which they will present the design project they have been working on for the program year.

Students that join ACE are encouraged to join again the following year – our application for the 2020-21 Program Year will be live in August 2020.

For the first time, the ACE Mentor Program of Greater NY Alumni Committee organized two panel discussions to provide seniors graduating from high school with firsthand insight on Architecture School and Engineering programs.

The Preparing for College Architecture Panel was held on June 11, 2019 at the ACE Greater NY office in Midtown Manhattan. Panelists were guided through a moderated discussion by ACE Alumni and current Team Leader, Nadene Taylor (Beyer Blinder Belle). Students learned about the basics and expectations of Architecture school, including the vocabulary and tools needed to succeed.
