Last Friday, ACE Mentor Program of New Jersey closed out the 2024-2025 program year with Final Presentations from all eight teams at the @njit_hillier College of Architecture and Design, a culmination of a year of growth, knowledge, and exploring new industries! 🏗

It was a full house and standing room only as students, mentors, team leaders, school liaisons, board members, parents, and guests from supporting firms—including @rutgersu panelist Laura Berman—gathered to celebrate our students. 👏 The energy in the room reflected the impact and excitement that the program brings to everyone involved.

Board members Damon Piontkowski and Kelly Reager led the charge in coordinating the event, with Kelly also taking the lead on day-of logistics to ensure everything ran smoothly. Dinah Jordan handled the creation of student and mentor certificates, honoring the dedication and hard work of everyone involved. The event was emceed by ACE NJ board member Ed Stevenson, and began with inspiring opening remarks from Andrew Christ of @NJIT, setting the tone for an evening filled with pride, gratitude, and celebration. 💛

We'll be sharing photos from each team, starting with ACE Mentor Program of NJ's @hightstownhs Team, led by school liaison Gail MacIver-Yako, and mentors Lauren Bellars and ACE NJ alum Hunter Grimm!

From sketching designs to teamwork and execution, these students put in months of hard work, and it showed in every slide and idea they shared. 👨‍🏫

Congratulations to all our students and a special thank you to all our mentors, team leaders, guests speakers and school liaisons for everything you do! 🙏
