This is an opportunity offered to Sophomore ACEs in spring quarter. Students will connect with ACE alum and/or SCU contacts who currently work at companies in the Bay Area. The shadowing experience provides students with the opportunity to participate on behind the scenes company tours, learn about job responsibilities and daily tasks, ask questions, and find out how ACE has helped alumni achieve their goals.
