InterfACE

is an interactive program where peer mentors work with approximately 6 international students in the ACE Program as a component of their ACE 112 class. Sessions happen weekly on Tuesdays from 6-8 pm, and the times and locations will be included on student schedules. Their role is to facilitate weekly discussions centered around cultural topics and themes relevant to life in the United States and at Miami University.

Additionally, partners will engage with ACE students outside of the Tuesday meetings in a mentorship capacity, by checking in with them outside of meetings, as well as taking their group into the Miami and Oxford Community to engage more broadly in their first semester.

Orientation & Transition

ACE Orientation extends across a student's experience in ACE. On campus, students will attend workshops and ACE-specific programming related to campus life, academic life, and health and wellness. These workshops will support student engagement at Miami. Some key parts of this orientation are an off-campus fall retreat in October as well as a divisional advising fair in late October where ACE students can talk with all Miami divisions about potential majors and courses for the future.

Campus Experience

ACE students live on campus among Miami students, and they engage in coursework, co-curricular and extracurricular activities along with their American peers. They have access to academic and recreational opportunities, as well as a solid support system through the ACE Tutoring Lab, InterfACE Mentor Program, and academic and career advising. As they work their way through the ACE program, students are able to fully acclimate to life at Miami in preparation for their future degree program.

Academic Advisors

All ACE students will be assigned an Academic Advisor who will lead discussions about registration needs, and assist students with their registration plan.
