ACE ACE is the **A**dult **C**ollege **E**xperience student organization. ACE provides an avenue for adult students (also called non-traditional students) to get together for support, sharing and fun! Why join ACE? Because college is about more than just your in-class experiences. And because you’re not alone; even though sometimes you may feel like the only person over 21 on campus, there are actually over 200 of you here—more than a third of our students! ACE also provides non-traditional students with an opportunity for leadership experience – it can be a great resume builder. If that’s not enough reasons, here’s one more—students are more likely to be successful and stay in college if they are connected. A non-traditional student is anyone who is married or has children, or is over 21. This semester ACE meets every other Tuesday at 12:15 in the Commons. ACE is currently working on sponsoring a blood drive, creating and fundraising for a scholarship program for non-traditional students, planning a student/staff event and more! We’ve already held a new student/returning student bowling event and we began a mentoring program to connect new non-trads to returning ones. For more information about ACE, contact Trudy Sirkis, Student Services Coordinator in the Student Services Office. Her email is trudy.sirkis@uwc.edu.
