Special Recognition Events
Celebrating Leadership and Excellence
Pace University proudly celebrates the leaders, innovators, and changemakers who shape our communities and inspire our students. Through our signature recognition events, we honor individuals whose contributions advance education and amplify our mission.
The Law Leadership Awards dinner is the signature fundraiser for the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University and a celebration to honor individuals or organizations that have made outstanding contributions to the legal community. The annual celebration provides the setting for the presentation of the Distinguished Service Award. Through sponsorships and a journal produced especially for the event, funds are raised to help underwrite Pace Haub Law’s outstanding academic programs, our faculty, and our students.
At Pace Celebrates: Changemakers, we honor extraordinary leaders with the Changemaker Award. These inspiring trailblazers are leaving their mark on Downtown NYC and communities beyond, leading the way in healthcare, law, and the arts, and championing vital causes and organizations through their transformative work and unwavering dedication. Event proceeds directly support student scholarships and programs that prepare tomorrow’s leaders for success in critical fields.
