LFS Academic and Career Engagement Team

The LFS Academic and Career Engagement Team (ACE Team) focuses on delivering programming related to academic success and career development that allows participants to gain and apply relevant skills, be exposed to campus and Faculty-specific resources, and engage with their peers.

Members of LFS ACE Team gain specific skills in the areas of project management and written and oral communication, while increasing their knowledge of student resources and outlets, and expanding their professional network.
