Ace Acumen Academy’s 10 year Celebration

Ace Acumen Academy celebrated their 10th anniversary this year, we are thankful for those individuals and organizations that have been dedicated supporters of the College in this time. We are grateful for their commitment to the success of Ace Acumen Academy. Today we were able to celebrate and share our appreciation along with St. Clair College. Our President John Wu says “When I look back over the years and think about how many students have passed through our doors, spending some of their formative years with us. To date we have graduated 9,706 students! What an accomplishment to celebrate, but no one could make this happen on their own.” This is true, we cannot be successful without the help of our community.

Orientation Spring/Summer 2023

Last week we held our Spring 2023 Orientation at all three of our campuses. (Toronto, Brampton, and Mississauga) These orientations are a great opportunity to help our students who have travelled here from all over the world to learn about the college and meet some of the important people who work at the college. Help them get prepared on their new environment, as well as what they can expect from both their academic life on campus, and their own life off campus. It was great to see so many new faces, as our halls were filled with freshman looking to learn about all the services the college offers like our tutoring, career services, and athletics. We even had our insurance provider Student VIP show up to answer any questions students had about their insurance policies. Students travelled around each of the orientations and visited each booth tracking it all on their orientation passport, once a student visited all the booths they could then enter that passport into a raffle to win some Apple Air Pods. Overall it was a great experience to know that these students have taken their first step to success here at Ace Acumen Academy.

This year new students were invited to drop in and visit booths to meet staff from various departments in person, and ask them questions directly, to set themselves up for success. Students were invited to participate in a passport program and collect stamps once they visited each booth. At the end of the orientation the students could submit the completed passport for a chance to win a pair of Apple Airpods. We had a great turnout, and it was great to see everyone interacting. We wish all the best to our new incoming students this semester!
