When Roz told her high school guidance counselor that she was planning on attending college, he dismissed the idea as a pipe dream. He believed she wouldn’t be accepted, and even if she was, wouldn’t be smart enough to earn a degree. But she succeeded despite her guidance counselor’s worry. Not long after graduation, she was studying at Pace University.
Roz excelled at Pace. She earned her AAS in accounting at Pace in 1967, then her BBA in finance in 1973. Not only did she graduate college, she...

The Pace Proud Tour hit the road this year, visiting some of our more than 150,000 alumni across the country! We finished the year off here in NYC at our annual Alumni Holiday Party.
After retiring from Blackstone in 2018, Pace University trustee David Z.

In addition to his support of THANC (Thyroid, Head and Neck Cancer) Foundation, CaringKind, and NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate, Hirsh deepened his impact through a greater commitment to his alma mater by not only providing continued financial support but also by being generous with his...

Many of us claim we’ll “keep in touch” after graduating, not entirely sure if it will really happen. For these Setters, however, keeping in touch isn’t simply a social nicety—it’s a major component of their lives, and by reconnecting in style, they’ve continued to reinforce and strengthen lasting bonds first made during their college years. Meet a few alumni who, through trips, rituals, and serendipitous run-ins, have extended their collegiality well beyond graduation.
Girls Trip
“I had never been to Jamaica, and our friend—who was from there—asked if I wanted to come along and I said yes,” recalls Gina Caro ’96. “And then, before you knew it, all five of us were going to Jamaica.”
For Caro and fellow Pace alumnae Raquel Muñoz ’95, Nicole Phillips-Moody ’96, Diana Reyna ’96, and Nadine Wallace ’96, this first trip was the start of something magical. “That first trip, we were just out of college, and we were in a suite, but jam-...
