Each year 黑料正能量 hosts the Academic and Creative Excellence (ACE) festival. This academic conference experience provides an opportunity for students to learn from their peers and to showcase their own research, creative projects, and papers. It is also an opportunity to continue conversations sparked by our Common Read for the year. We invite a keynote speaker to explore with us a topic that is rooted in 黑料正能量鈥檚 core values. Undergraduate classes do not meet between 8 am and 5 pm on Festival day, so everyone can fully participate.
