Her input – in both formal and informal roles within ACE of Greater Boston – helps keep us on the mission to first and foremost serve the students,” explained Mike. Casey’s efforts include helping senior high school students prepare for their future and apply for scholarships, mentoring other mentors as well as students, and contributing to programming for student learning.

Casey was recognized along with four other Outstanding Mentors from the program’s Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Greater New York, and Seattle affiliates on Monday, 30 April, during the ACE National Board Meeting and National Design Competition in Washington, DC.
