Thank you to the alumni who joined us for
our past two events – Prince George’s

particularly special, as it marked the first time
our new ACE president, Geordie Hyland, got
to meet and mingle in-person with ACE
graduates. We have more alumni events
planned in 2023, so be sure to join our
LinkedIn alumni group or follow ACE on

ACE is extremely excited to announce our new Master of Public
Health degree program! Designed for individuals who aspire to
be a difference maker in public health, our program’s coursework
integrates Council on Education for Public Health competencies
and prepares graduates to take the Certified in Public Health
exam.
We have also launched a new Micro-credential in Public Health
and Health Leadership. It’s a great option for students who want
to gain foundational knowledge in the field.
If you know someone who could benefit from these programs, tell
them about ACE by referring your friend or colleague! We
eagerly look forward to supporting more professionals in more
industries with our signature flexibility and affordability.
ACE is sponsoring the 8th annual Circle City Donut Dash in
partnership with our non-profit partner, Teachers’ Treasures.
This fun 5K run helps Teachers’ Treasures fundraise for school
supplies that will go to teachers of students in need in Marion
County, Indiana, free of charge.
Whether you’re local to the Indianapolis area or not, you can
participate in the Circle City Donut Dash on Saturday, March
18 through in-person and virtual race options. All virtual
racers will receive a customizable race bib, finisher’s medal and
T-shirt in the mail. In-person attendees will receive the same, plus
free donuts and coffee and a chance to win additional prizes!
All proceeds from Circle City Donut Dash go directly to Teachers’
Treasures, so don’t miss this excuse to eat donuts in support of
teachers and students. Register to participate by March 12!

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT
As one of the recipients of our HBCU Scholarship, Gardenia has
used what she’s learned in her master’s program to provide her
students with the education they deserve.
What’s your current job? Tell us a little about what you do.
Gardenia Soberanis Gonzalez (GSG): I am a bilingual kindergarten teacher at Wills Point Primary in
Wills Point, Texas.
What do you love about your current role?
GSG: I enjoy building a personal connection with the parents of my students as a familiar face in the
community. As a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals beneficiary, I can connect to my students’
parents about the importance of education, how vital it is and how it can impact your life, regardless
of immigration status. I help my students’ parents feel comfortable by showing them I can relate to
them, as my mom also sacrificed everything for me to have a better life.
When and how did you know you wanted to have this career?
GSG: Teaching was my passion during my math class in sophomore year of high school. It was the
first time I experienced having a teacher, Mr. Garcia, who looked like me with who I had a personal
connection. It was evident he was passionate about the subject, as it was always fun and engaging.
Mr. Garcia made me feel seen as an individual, not just another student.
I also wanted to be a teacher because of Best Buddies, a nonprofit organization that builds
connections between students and students with disabilities in a school. It showed me the importance
of consistency and the significant impact a friend can have.
How has your ACE degree helped you in your career?
GSG: In high school, higher education seemed like a dream. I feel blessed to have been able to
graduate from Paul Quinn College with my bachelor’s, because I had to face financial difficulties such
as not being eligible for loans and having to pay out of pocket. Obtaining a graduate degree with no
debt is beyond a dream. My ACE degree has helped me provide my school with skills I’ve learned
during my program.
If you’re thinking of doing another program, ACE alumni can come back and save $250 to $1,250,
depending on the program. Your application fee will also get credited back to your tuition. See
details here.
