A slide that reads 2025 State of the University

As the spring semester is now in full swing, I take this moment to reflect on the incredible energy and commitment that define Pace University. Our students, faculty, and staff continue to demonstrate resilience, innovation, and a shared dedication to our mission.

Next week, I invite you to join me for the 2025 State of the University Address on Monday, February 10, at 12:10 p.m. in the Student Center at One Pace Plaza on our New York City Campus—or tune-in online. This is an opportunity to look at the road ahead, to discuss the challenges facing higher education, and to highlight the ways the people of Pace are shaping our future.

I believe in Pace’s future because of you—the students who pursue their dreams with determination, the faculty who challenge and inspire, and the staff who work tirelessly to support our mission. Your commitment to education and innovation makes Pace what it is: a university that delivers real-life learning and extraordinary outcomes.

I hope you’ll join me for this important conversation. And as we move through the semester, keep an eye out for more details about Commencement 2025, when we’ll celebrate another extraordinary class of Pace graduates.

Additionally, I encourage you to take part in these upcoming events:

  • Spring 2025 Job and Internship Fair | Friday, February 7
    Connect with top employers and explore career opportunities at one of our biggest networking events of the year.
  • NY Fed President Williams Speech & Q&A | Tuesday, February 11
    New York Federal Reserve President John C. Williams will give prepared remarks and take questions from the Pace audience.
  • Faculty & Staff Appreciation Night | Sunday, February 11
    Faculty and staff, join us at the Goldstein Fitness Center for a night of recognition and community. During halftime, I’ll take on Chad Walker, Pace Football’s new head coach, in a free throw showdown—each basket made earns $50 for the Pace Cares fund. No RSVP needed!

I look forward to seeing you on February 10 and continuing our work together.

Sincerely,
Marvin Krislov
President, Pace University
