ACES will serve as a national model for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) student support centers.

We envision ACES as a guiding influence in STEM education. Through the expansion of ACES centers, collaboration between students, faculty, industry, and other institutions; ACES will serve as a model for student-run resource centers. Acquisition of state of the art technology and refinement of services dedicated to the enrichment of education in a rapidly evolving academic environment will never hinder.

Services and resources include tutoring, workshops, study and meeting areas; and access to reference materials and technology in a facility designed for networking with peers, faculty, and professionals.
