Manhattanville Development Group Marks 16 Years of Guiding Students Through Mentorship Program

Columbia's Manhattanville Development Group joined with its professional services partners to mentor high school students in the Architecture, Construction, and Engineering (ACE) Mentor Program of Greater New York.

ACE Mentor Program is a weekly after-school program that takes place over the course of the academic year, providing students with real-world exposure and access to architecture, construction, and engineering industries.  

At the end of the program a city-wide competition is held, challenging teams to develop a simulated construction project and present their plans and models to the other teams. Students on the Manhattanville Development Group team presented a theoretical high school on Columbia’s Manhattanville Campus located at 3247 Broadway. 

The mentorship resulted in two students form the team receiving scholarships from ACE Mentor Program of Greater New York.

This is the 16th year Columbia's Manhattanville Development Team has participated in the program.
