Student Experiences at Ace Acumen

Hello Saints,    

Acumen has seen many students come and go from our College and we are so proud of all of our graduates. 

We have gathered some of our students to discuss their experience at Acumen and share some advice on how to succeed at Acumen. Many of our students have gone on to begin careers in their field. If you are ever wondering about the services we offer at Acumen, take a look at the video of some of our 4th semester and graduated students. They were once where you were, and can offer some great advice. We hope you enjoy it!

Your teachers are a big part of your College career, and we want you to get to know them a little better. They are here to help you succeed, answer your questions, and support you in your classes.

International Women’s Day Talk

Hello Saints! Monday March 8th, was International Women’s Day. International Women’s Day is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 to commemorate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women. It is also a focal point in the women’s rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence against women.

To celebrate this day, we invited a guest speaker to join us for an empowerment discussion. Katie Keppieri is a TED speaker, writer, social entrepreneur and activist. She gave a talk to our staff and students about positive self image, women’s empowerment, leadership and social media. It was a very inspirational discussion and  was a great way to celebrate all women at Acumen. 

March Break Book Suggestion

Hello Saints! March break is coming up quickly, March 15-19. There will be no classes. We hope that you have a nice break. We want to give you some suggestions to keep yourself busy during this week off! 

Our academic advisor Dorothy has some great suggestions for books that you can read during this week away from class! Reading keeps your brain stimulated, and could help improve your writing skills! 

Have a happy and safe March break and we look forward to continuing Winter 2021 with you!
