- Introduces students to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and their prevalence in the childhoods of certain college student populations.
- Examines how these potentially traumatic events that occur during the ages of 0–17 are linked to chronic health problems, mental illness, and substance misuse in adulthood.
- Studies how the manifestation of ACE during the college years has implications for student development theory application and administration of services and programs on campuses, as well as ACE’s impact on education, job opportunities, and college student degree attainment.
- Explores the classifications of ACE—pandemic, natural disaster, terrorist attack, or racial and social injustice—and the possible implications of living through, making life adjustments, or absorbing constant media coverage as a result of these experiences.
