Staff Members

Pace's diverse and robust staff is very involved in LGBTQA intitiatives on campus. Many staff members have programmed for the community and dedicated events and trainings to LGBTQA issues and initiatives.

Student Members

Our student members are the heart of this task force. Their willingness and readiness to engage this initiative reinforced the need to push so hard for it!  From Student fairs, to petitioning and creating beautiful logos, films and signs, the students are the driving force of this movement, and the reason any of us are here in the first place. After all, they were willing to “dance” for a center.

Faculty Members

Throughout Pace’s history, staff and faculty have made it a point to support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer and transgender community. Whether it has been through programming, speakers, teaching courses, or being a good ally and friend, the individuals listed below have served as pioneers and magic makers on our campus.   Their past, current and future commitment to our students is what makes Pace University beat day after day.

Alumni Members

Pace Alumni have contributed so much to the LGBTQA Task Force. Alumni attend meetings, speak to students at events, serve as mentors and have been generous with making donations to the the LGBTQA Center in order to fund vital programming.  Alumni members also sit on a separate LGBTQA Alumni Committee to set goals and network.
