ACES Round Barn Society

Round Barn Society

The College of ACES Alumni Association established the Round Barn Society in 2012 in an effort to recognize key alumni that have, by their accomplishments or service, brought distinction to the College of ACES. The society was created in recognition of the fact that while an award or service term are static events, the prestige that the members bring to the college is ever-present.
