ACE DC
Alumni Events
Our alumni events are designed to keep students connected to the ACE DC network while building the skills and confidence needed to succeed professionally.
These events are hosted during the winter and summer when many of our alumni are back in the DC area. They focus on practical, career-building topics while also giving alumni the opportunity to reconnect with peers and mentors.
Explore highlights from recent events below and stay tuned for details on our upcoming summer alumni gathering.
Winter 2026
ACE DC held an ACE Winter Alumni event welcoming any local ACE alumni! They were able to network, meet current ACE DC mentors who were once ACE students themselves, and learn from their paths into the industry in a panel discussion! Attendees were also given a tour of KCCT Architects' office! Thank you to all of our panelists, attendees, and sponsors (KCCT and Hensel Phelps!)!
Summer 2026
ACE DC had our Summer Alumni event where attendees were able to connect with fellow alumni, have their resume reviewed with a professional, and learn tips on how to show up as their most professional selves in-person and online! Thank you to all of our speakers, attendees, Seyfarth Shaw LLP for hosting us, and DPR Construction for sponsoring the event!

Summer 2026 (continued!)
ACE DC had our first Shadow Day event! Our students and alumni were able tour a mega data center project, learn about the day-in-life of a project team, and become familiar with how the project team manages the construction process. Thank you to Holder Construction for providing this opportunity for our students!
