Urbana -- More than 1,500 high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors from across the state of Illinois are expected in Urbana-Champaign on March 12 and 13 for ExplorACES, an inside look at the people and programs of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) at the University of Illinois.
At the event, ACES students will offer more than 100 hands-on exhibits relating to classroom work, club activities, and honors research. Visitors will also tour lab and classroom facilities and have the opportunity to visit with ACES faculty members.
The College of ACES offers 10 undergraduate majors with 39 different concentrations, and ExplorACES helps prospective students get an overview of the potential career pathways in areas of study such as bioengineering, community development, economics, human nutrition, plant breeding, resource ecology, and pre-veterinary studies.
