Given the rapidly changing situation, ACE is taking proactive steps to address the concerns and needs of its members and the higher education community. The ACE webpage for COVID-19 information will be updated with new resources and upcoming online events as they become available.

For the latest medical information and guidance, ACE recommends visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website.

Many of ACE’s up-to-the-minute COVID-19 resources for the higher education community can be found on ACE Engage and in the ACE news room.
