ACES Recognizes Students For Exceptional Service at Suit Awards

On Sunday, May 2nd, we brought together current ACES, ACES alumni, and staff to celebrate our 2020-21 NU|ACES Suit Award Recipients! The Suit Awards recognize students in NU|ACES who have demonstrated exceptional service. Like the suits of a card deck, there are four types of Suit Awards. The highest honor is the Ace of Spades: Global Citizen Award, which is reserved for students who have dedicated time throughout their college careers to becoming more engaged citizens and community members. This year, we celebrated students who received all four levels: Ace of Clubs, Ace of Diamonds, Ace of Hearts, and finally Ace of Spades. Although the celebration was over zoom, we had celebrity surprise guests to introduce each award and congratulate all of our recipients thanks to the awesome website Cameo. To congratulate our 13 Ace of Clubs Recipients, we had American singer-songwriter, CeeLo Green!

Our 17 Ace of Diamonds Recipients were recognized by The Office actress Kate Flannery (Meredith)! We had 8 Ace of Hearts Recipients who were introduced by the pro skateboarder Tony Hawk, and finally our 10 Ace of Spades Recipients were congratulated by the Impractical Jokers comedian James Murray! Congratulations again to all of our recipients, and thank you for your commitment to learning, serving, taking action and building the alliance in our community and beyond!
