Mission
The Academic & Career Exploration (ACE) office provides academic support and major exploration to third-semester freshmen through senior-level students who are struggling with college-level learning or deciding on a major.
As part of this process, ACE helps students explore how different majors align with potential career paths, providing guidance for those unsure of their academic direction.
ACE also offers a reflective space for students to assess their goals, identify strengths and values, and develop personal and professional skills that extend beyond college. With a focus on growth mindset, effective study habits, learning strategies, time management, and problem-solving, ACE equips students to excel academically and build a strong foundation for future success.
Goals
- Improve student progression by providing major/career guidance, information, and resources.
- Increase student persistence through knowledge acquisition and skill development of successful academic practices.
- Advise freshmen who no longer have a FYS advisor.
- Monitor and address students’ evolving needs through the collection of real-time student voice and measurements (via Edsights Roomie Chatbot) and dissemination to university offices.
