Student Profiles
Kelley Harris
My name is Kelley Harris and I grew up in the small town of Smithville, Tx. I've always loved New York City and the immense opportunities within. After I graduated from high school in 2007, I moved to NYC to attend Marymount Manhattan College. I am a Communication Arts major and I have just discovered my interest in Art History possibly as a minor. I got involved in ACE not only because it is a program that encourages and informs middle school and high school students about college, but there is a great amount of interaction among the volunteers to the students. It's really interesting and fun to share your own experiences, inform, and encourage students face-to-face.

Amanda Watson
My name is Amanda Watson and I am a freshman at Marymount Manhattan College. I am currently majoring in Communication Arts and minoring in Sociology and Psychology. I joined ACE because I wanted to do something productive with my time and that will not only help me, but be beneficial to others as well. I have always love and admire programs or projects that work on making a difference in the community. College access is something that I feel strongly about and advocate because although I had alot of support and resources when I was applying to college, not everyone has this opportunity.

I am happy when I am helping others. I feel more comfortable with the person that I am knowing that I am doing good. — Amanda Watson
