Honors Council
The Honors Council is a group of dedicated Honors students who assume the most important leadership roles within the Pforzheimer Honors College. The Honors Council was founded in Fall 2007. The council serves as a venue for Honors students to explore their leadership abilities as well as social and academic curiosity.
The Honors Council plans and organizes events which benefit Honors students and the entire Pace Community. The Council is in charge of creating ideas that will invoke a sense of community within the Honors College and the rest of the student body. The Council also serves as a liaison between the Honors College and other campus organizations.
Honors Council members are encouraged to attend all events sponsored by Honors. Special consideration should be made by executive board members and committee co-chairs.
We are proud to announce our Honors Council Members for 2025-2026.
Isabella Kalavaci
Marketing Coordinator
Hello! My name is Isabella Kalavaci, and I am a sophomore economics major. I’m from Pleasantville, New York. Here at Pace, I was inducted into Alpha Lambda Delta and Lambda Sigma, and I plan to be inducted into many more societies this year and the coming years! I also take part in Women in Economics. I have held many positions in many organizations in high school, from vice president to secretary, as well as being inducted in all five of the honor societies. When I’m not at Pace, I pursue and dedicate my time and effort to real estate. This was a little something about me!
