Olivia Drabczyk, Applied Psychology major (concentration in Counseling and Human Services) Hometown: Staten Island, NY |
About me:
I’m the oldest of four girls and my mother’s favorite daughter (no really, I am). My favorite movie of all time is On the Waterfront. I’m a big movie person. My passion in life is children; my goal in life above all others is to be a great mom. If I could have one thing it would probably be my own theater, to screen old movies, and to put on children’s shows.

Why did you choose Pace?
I came to Pace because for as long as I can remember my favorite thing to wear was my uncle’s old Pace sweatshirt. When I came to visit, just being on campus made me feel like I did in that sweatshirt- completely comfortable. So I sent my check in the next day.

About me:
I'm unlike anyone else you've ever encountered – I'm obsessed with Pace, and I've made it my mission to have all students feel the same Pace Pride that I do on a daily basis.
Why did you choose Pace?
Pace offered a semblance of diversity, an ideal location, a NYC connection, academic excellence, necessary amenities (i.e. free student parking for all grade levels), social and extracurricular activities, options beyond belief, and a warm and personable atmosphere that can only be attributed to Pace. Pace is all about customization; no Pace student has the same journey.

The New York Advantage is what sold me on Pace. Having the large accounting firms so close and an accredited Co-op and Career Services convinced me that both my educational experience and my future career would be successful.

Victoria Keck, Nursing major
Hometown: Wappingers Falls, NY |
About Me: I am a sophomore here at Pace. I lived on the Briarcliff Campus in Down Hall last year, and I am living on the Briarcliff Campus again this year in New Dorm. I absolutely love it here and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else!
Favorite Class:
Nursing 202: Fundamentals of Nursing.
Favorite Place On Campus:
Kessel Student Center
Favorite Place Off Campus:
Jerry's Brick Oven Pizza and the park - it's a toss-up.
Why did you choose Pace?
I chose Pace for a variety of reasons. Mainly, I chose Pace because they have a very unique nursing program. Pace gives nursing students the opportunity to start their nursing classes in their freshman year, so they can be in the hospital doing clinical their sophomore year. They also have small classroom sizes, which gives students the chance to have one-on-one relationships with professors. Once I was on campus, I fell in love with Pace's atmosphere. There is such a sense of community on campus, which makes it so easy for students to make friends and get involved.

Natalie Hinz, Criminal Justice major Hometown: Manhattan Beach, CA |
About Me:
I am a junior who is not afraid to participate in any activities at Pace. I am a Peer Educator, Student Ambassador, Treasurer of Criminal Justice Society, Treasurer of Panhellenic Council, seasonal employee at the campus bookstore, and I also work for the Educational Media Dept. I am a proud sister of Nu Zeta Phi and active in Greek Council.
Why I chose Pace:
When I was looking into colleges, I wanted small class sizes, a criminal justice major, a college environment, and to go to a state that I had never been to before. Pace paid for my college counselor to visit both campuses and she was able to give me a first-hand experience of what she saw. I like how Pace has two campuses and I have the opportunity to take classes in the city and live in Pleasantville. Pace is my second home.

Hometown: New Hampton, NY

About Me: I am a left-handed, sophomore, honors student living in New Dorm on the Briarcliff campus. I love theatre, photography, Disney, working with kids, and have recently developed a liking for Yoga. I hope to go on to Graduate school after Pace to pursue Psychology.
Favorite Class:
My favorite class this semseter is probably my theatre class, From Pace to Stage, which is actually being offered here in Westchester. We're writing our own plays and will eventually have the chance to perform them. I definitely like being able to take elective courses outside of my major.
Favorite Place On Campus:
Inside: the little sitting area upstairs in Miller. Outside: the Environmental Center.
Favorite Place Off Campus:
The Dragonfly Cafe
Why I chose Pace:
I knew the people here would treat me as an individual and that they genuinely wanted to help me with whatever I needed. The Co-op program is wonderful, as is the Honors College. A lot can be said about the location as well; the different campus locations that give you access to both Westchester and the city are definitely a plus.

About me:
I am a junior at Pace looking to complete the five-year MBA/BBA program. I am very involved on campus and have very little time to relax. I love to snowboard and hang out with my friends. I also love relaxing by a fire, watching TV, and long walks on the beach under the stars.
Favorite Class:
Advanced Business Law- Dr. Kraus!!!
Favorite Place On Campus:
Kessel Student Center
Favorite Place Off Campus:
My house
Why I chose Pace:
I chose to go to Pace University because of the multi-campus aspect. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go to a city campus or a more countryside campus. Pace fit my needs, and it is only 45 minutes from my house, which makes it not too close but not too far. The other main reason why I chose Pace was because of the five-year MBA/BBA Accounting program and the career services office!

About me:
I am a second year student from Massachusetts, and coming to Pace was really my first time away from the comforts of home for an extended period of time. Though I've only been here for a little over a year, I really cannot imagine being anywhere else. In my spare time, I like playing tennis, exploring town, and taking trips into the city.

Lauren Zucconi, Elementary Education major
Hometown: Chestnut Ridge, NY
|
About me:
Seven things I love: the Jersey shore, music, tattoos, pictures, concerts, laughing, and meaningful conversation.
Why I chose Pace:
I chose Pace because it was close to my hometown, but far enough away that I could dorm there. In high school, I was on the diving team and I wanted to continue to dive in college. Pace has a facility complete with three diving boards and a Division II swim and dive team. Pace also has an education track where you are able to graduate with your Bachelor's and your Master's degree within five years, which I found very important.
Favorite Class:
Yoga- most relaxing class ever!

I enjoy meeting new people and traveling around the world.
Why I chose Pace:
Pace's location not only offers the best of both worlds, the city and a traditional college campus, but also allows me to have an advantage when it comes to making career choices in the business world. I love that my professors know me as an individual and are concerned with giving me the best experience of my college years.

Joanne Cola, Childhood Education major, concentration in English
Hometown: Spring Valley, New York
|
About me:
I am a very laid-back individual and my friends know me to be very independent. I also love to help people in any way I can, and am very involved in community service. I can be very energetic and bubbly. During my free time I enjoy singing, dancing, and writing poetry.
Why I chose Pace:
I chose Pace for various reasons. One reason would be because of the excellent education program that it had to offer. The professors all had personal experience in the educational field and the elementary schools that Pace works with are some of the top schools in Westchester County. Another reason was the campus life. Many students are involved in clubs and organizations that help coordinate the events on campus. Also, campus life helps students to become familiar with one another and unites the Pace community as a family.
Favorite Class:
My favorite class is Introduction to Special Education. In this class we are studying about students in childhood programs who are classified with learning or behavioral disorders. We are learning more about how students are implemented into special education classes, and in our student teaching fields, we have the opportunity to observe special education students in the classrom.
