What a year! It is already May, meaning finals are coming up, last-minute details of summer internships are being finalized, and the temperature is getting warmer (little by little). Unfortunately, it seems that before we know it, May will be over as well. Thinking back, without ACE, I would be lost here. ACE has given me so many educational experiences with some of the brightest and most inspiring professors in the nation. I have also been presented with numerous opportunities to give back to the department. Being able to represent my major as an ambassador gives me the opportunity to share my experiences with prospective students to enlighten them on ACE at Illinois. The College of ACES as a whole is something to be proud of and something I enjoy representing. You truly know you are at the right school when the thought of summer saddens you, so here's to next year!
