"At Pace University, we are grateful for the sacrifices that our veterans have made to serve our country," said President Krislov. "On this Veterans Week and throughout the year, we are proud to support our student veterans and their families, and we honor all those who have bravely worn the uniform."
Student Veterans are a vital and integral part of Pace University's campus community. In fact, the University's Office of Veterans Services offers ongoing support to 300 student veterans and their families on all three of its campuses – in New York City, White Plains and Pleasantville.
In addition to offering unique programs such as UNV 101 for Veterans class, Pace University recently opened a new Student Veterans Center -- made possible with the help of a $200,000 grant secured by New York State Senator Peter Harckham -- that serves as a one-stop resource center. The new SVC is centrally located on campus inside the Kessel Student Center on the Pleasantville campus.
