WELCOME!
Greetings Parents and Family Members:
Welcome to the spring 2010 semester! Last semester was a busy one for Pace students—filled with academics, jobs and internships, volunteering, and also a variety of campus activities. Last fall we hosted Homecomings on each campus (view the video here), several concerts, multiple guest speakers, athletic events, and more. To find out some of the exciting events we have planned for your students (and you) this semester, read "Pace is the Place" or visit our Events Calendar, Parents and Family page, or The Pulse.
We know recovering from the bustle of the holidays can be consuming, but we wanted to remind you of some key upcoming deadlines. The priority deadline for federally funded financial aid (FAFSA) was February 15; however, applications are still being considered, so visit the Financial Aid page for more information. In addition, each spring semester brings preparation for Commencement; application and selection for study abroad, internships, and Orientation Leaders; and residential room re-selection for housing.
This spring will also bring several exciting new initiatives to Pace. Starting in 2008, we increased our focus on sustainability with a new committee that is developing energy-saving plans, increasing recycling on campus, and promoting a number of green tips for students. We will also be increasing our efforts to communicate with the Pace Community by launching our new online suggestion box, open to students, faculty, staff, and even parents!
We hope that your experience with Pace has been a good one thus far. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Respectfully,
Dean Marijo Russell O’Grady, PhD, New York City Campus
Dean Lisa Bardill Moscaritolo, PhD, Westchester Campus

Pace is the Place
Home, Sweet Homecoming—Students, families, faculty, and staff rang in the 2009-2010 school year with Homecoming and Family Weekend. Featuring Broadway shows, medieval dinner theater, a pep rally, and the Setters football game, the alumni were welcomed back in style. Check out the video here. Fall Semester Roundup—Pace hosted a number of high-profile visitors and events this past semester. Shakespeare’s Globe Company from London set up camp in the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts for its national tour of Love’s Labour’s Lost. The Buttonwood Gathering, also hosted at the Schimmel, brought financial leaders and visionaries such as Tim Geithner, Lawrence Summers, and George Soros to Pace to discuss the current economic crisis. CNBC correspondent and Pace alumnus Charles Gasparino and the New York Times financial reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin each lectured and signed copies of their books. And Kate Hudson, Bon Jovi, Hilary Swank, and Avatar Director James Cameron made appearances on Inside the Actor’s Studio. Additionally, Pace’s New York City campus also served as the location for major motion picture When Harry Tries to Marry. More than 100 students participated both as actors, extras, and as behind-the-scenes workers for the romantic comedy. Read More |
