Project ACES

What a fabulous idea! Students from the Boston Renaissance School came to visit two Thurdays ago for Lasell's Awareness Confidence Education Success (ACES) program. CCBL ran a couple of days full of entertainment for these students as they explored the campus as if it were their own. The students were given campus tours, time to build their futures electronically, time to play basketball, classroom activities and time to simply indulge in our campus dining hall/ 1851.

I met these students to take pictures in the 1851. They got very excited when they saw that I had a camera and their leader James had them pose for some very cute photos. Next I followed them into Wolfe hall, where I watched as several of the classrooms were used for the students to play facilitated games.

It was adorable too, there were 44 students and many of them knew a lot about college already! I remember being that age and not knowing ANYTHING about college life. What a great Idea to give kids early exposure to college in order to mark it in their minds as an ultimate goal.
