ACE Peer Mentors host a week-long Summer Transition Program for incoming first-year students the week before fall classes begin, in collaboration with the ACE Summer Transition Interns. The Summer Transition Program includes team-building activities, academic enrichment sessions, and a community service project.

Once the semester begins, ACE Peer Mentors will assist a small group of ACE Scholars in acclimating to the college environment.  Peer Mentors maintain regular contact with each ACE Scholar in their small group and design programming to tailor to the needs of first-year students. Additionally, one-on-one mentoring will take place between Peer Mentors and new students throughout the academic year.
