“ACAP was a chance for me to explore new career options and take my college major seriously. Prior to my time at ACAP, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study or what career I wanted to pursue. ACAP got me interested in business and from there I transitioned into marketing but I still received a basic knowledge of accounting. Had it not been for ACAP, I’m not sure where I would be today. Not only that, but I was surrounded by other students that had plans to attend college and big goals, none of which I had at the time. I was influenced by those around me.”
