The Academic Center for Excellence, or the ACE, is the academic support and resource center at Rochester University. Here our peer tutors provide one-on-one and group support to a diverse group of students in a variety of academic disciplines.
The ACE award honors our students who have been the embodiment of servant leadership as they worked thoughtfully and intentionally to support their peers in their academic studies and coursework. Our honorees have worked tirelessly to encourage and support their peers; we could not do the work that we do in the ACE without these student leaders. We are grateful for the incredible impact each of them has had in this community.
