News from the ACE Leadership Program
Welcome back ACE students! We hope you enjoyed your summer and are re-energized to begin the school year and tackle new challenges. With the absence of students from campus over the last few weeks, we capitalized on some down time to reimagine some of the ACE program experiences. We are excited to share these with you and are grateful to Patricia, Sarah and Evan for their support in the process. Over the summer we also met with the ACE seniors as they completed their internships and expanded their professional experiences. During the quarter, you’ll be able to hear from the seniors first hand and get a glimpse of working in Silicon Valley. Keep an eye out for an email from Brenda with your year long schedule of commitments. We look forward to seeing you at ACE seminars and working with you this year.

New ACE Cohort 2021 begin this Fall

Preparing for Fall Career Fairs
The Fall Career Fair is happening in Week 2 of Fall quarter on September 26. For those of you looking for full time opportunities after graduation or internships, do not miss this important event. The Fall Career Fair usually includes the most employer participants for the year. To prepare, log on to Handshake to review the employers registered for the fair. You can learn more about the companies and the various open positions. Do your research ahead of time so you can have an educated conversation with the company representatives. To avoid feeling overwhelmed, make a list of the companies you absolutely want to talk to and prioritize your approach. And remember our advice, never start your conversation with “what does your company do?” as that shows a lack of preparation on your part. Instead, share something you have learned about the company or that excites you about the potential employment opportunity.
