ACE (Adult College Experience) has an active group of approximately 10 regular members. We meet every other Tuesday at noon in the Commons. ACE has been addressing issues common to non-traditional students and our primary goal has been to seek ways in which we can support new and current non-trads. Non-traditional students are those students who are age 22 and over or are married and or have children. We are currently planning a pre-semester (mid-January) family bowling event! ACE members will also be mentoring new non-trads.

To get involved, contact Trudy Sirkis, Student Services, at 683-4708 or trudy.sirkis@uwc.edu

Future Teachers

The Future Teacher Group is a campus club for those interested in pursuing careers in education--teachers, administrators. We meet monthly in the fall to organize a guest speaker list and we invited School of Education representatives to our campus so that students can meet them. Our members volunteer in the Manitowoc Public School District with a variety of programs including First Grade Friday Friends and after school Homework Club. We also have a group visit to Silver Lake College organized for late January.

In the Spring semester, we will host our 5th annual University 101 event, which is a one-day opportunity for a local 6th grade class to visit our campus, take part in mini-lessons taught by our university professors, and discuss career goals. This year, Jefferson Elementary is coming in April. Future Teachers host this event and guide the sixth graders around our campus for their classes and for the scavenger hunt. It's a blast!  To get involved, contact Laura Apfelbeck at 683-4736, laura.apfelbeck@uwc.edu or Megumi Onoda at 683-4693 megumi.onoda@uwc.edu
