Megan Mingo 

Peer Success Leader 

I am a junior Sociology and African American studies double major and I plan to attend law school upon graduating from LMU. One thing that I enjoy about my role as a Peer Success Leader is having the opportunity to assist the ACE sophomore cohort along their journeys toward graduate and professional school. In my free time I enjoy watching movies and spending time with my family and friends.

 

 

Lauren Fabre

Program Assistant

I am a sophomore Biology major on the pre-medical track, planning to attend medical school after graduating from LMU. As a Program Assistant for ACE, I am excited to have the opportunity to promote the message of inclusivity and success that the ACE program exemplifies. Additionally, I am honored to assist the ACE program with event planning, student support, website maintenance, and any other administrative projects. In my free time I enjoy reading, listening to music, watching movies, and spending time with friends and family.
