MEChA de UW has organized the A.C.E. conference for the past twelve years in order to address
the lack of enrollment among Raza in institutions of higher education and issues affecting our community. A.C.E. is geared toward the recruitment and outreach of prospective
Chicana/o students applying at the
University of Washington.
The goal of this conference is not only to promote higher education,
but also to provide empowerment and leadership skills catered toward Chicana/o issues and other people of color.
We primarily outreach to students from underprivileged backgrounds and/or first generation college applicants.
We hope that all the participants leave the University
of Washington with a sense of empowerment of their people, culture,
and identity.
