The program pairs the students with professional mentors from around the state, provides scholarship opportunities and advances preparation for college.

10 RWU students from Architecture, Construction Management and Engineering, including Teresa Campos (current 2^nd year architecture) and Matt Bjorklund (current 1^st year architecture) – both ACE scholarship recipients – gave campus tours, presented an overview of the programs and answered questions.
