PLV-Olivia Drabczyk 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.

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.

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:

Favorite Place Off Campus:

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.

 PLV- Joanne Cola

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.
