Meet the ACE Student Ambassadors

ACE Ambassadors represent various social, academic, career, and civic engagement issues and movements affecting today's college students.

Ambassadors develop relationships with alumni and build internship and enrichment opportunities within the surrounding community through mentoring, volunteering, and other community-building initiatives.  Additionally, student ambassadors engage and build projects and community-building opportunities around societal issues, including immigrant and refugee rights, feminism and female empowerment, environmentalism, and first-generation, lower-income, & students with disabilities' needs.

ACE Student Ambassadors also provide pre-health, business, and second-year student support.

Below is a brief introduction to our team of ACE Student Ambassadors.  If you are an ACE Scholar with questions about this initiative, please e-mail us at ace@luc.edu.
