We’re proud to shine the spotlight on Olivia Solomon, recipient of a $3,000 ACE Scholarship and future changemaker in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering. A graduate of Cumberland County Technical Education Center (CCTEC), Olivia completed four years in the school’s engineering program and is now heading to Rowan University to pursue her dream of working in national defense — with hopes to one day design cutting-edge systems for organizations like Lockheed Martin or the Department of Defense.
In her own words, “ACE has given me the opportunity to connect with professionals in their respective fields and see what it is truly like to work in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries.” Olivia’s drive, curiosity, and commitment to service are matched only by her energy — she’s also a competitive runner and pole vaulter! We’re honored to support her journey as she reaches new heights — on and off the track.
