So Dan, give us a little bit of the mission and history

of ACE.

Sure.

ACE was founded back in 2011 by two adjunct professors at Cape Cod Community College.

And they saw a need for an organization, Advocates for Community College Education, that had not been met.

They saw students who were arriving at the college.

It was, for many of them, their first time being at a college.

You know, what do you, how do you describe that role? I mean, you've done that a little bit, but when, you know, Linda, you talked about when you first meet Dan, what do you, how do you describe your role with your mentees?
