The events of 9/11 have had a profound effect on a generation of people around the world, but our University, located mere blocks away from the World Trade Center, felt the impact first-hand. Twenty years ago, the Pace Community lost 47 members—students and alumni alike—and was closed for several weeks as we worked toward recovery.

Remember

As part of the 20th anniversary of that tragic day, we want to hear from our community. Whether you were a student at the time, a recent graduate, a faculty or staff member, we want to hear from you. For our current students and recent alumni, we want to hear your experiences, too! Perhaps you had a parent or family member working downtown or perhaps you just remember watching it on the news; your experience of an event that shaped a generation is just as valid. Please consider sharing your memories and experiences with us as part of story collection for the upcoming Fall 2021 issue of Pace Magazine. Use our submission form.

Healthcare is a profession rooted in trust, compassion, and advocacy. Patients place their well-being and dignity in the hands of healthcare professionals with the expectation that they will be treated respectfully and competently. However, a recent social media video posted on Labor Day by healthcare professions of a Santa Barbara, California-based outpatient clinic, illustrates a troubling lapse in professionalism.
