It’s a busy time of year at Pace.

As we navigate the tail end of winter, with its brisk air and the last whispers of cold, we find ourselves on the cusp of a transformative season at Pace University. This period of transition reminds us of our enduring mission of Opportunitas—a time to reflect on growth, renewal, and the exciting journey ahead.

Our recent PaceBound event for prospective students was a heartwarming prelude to the vibrant community and opportunities that await them here. Their enthusiasm and aspirations are a vivid reminder of the impactful journey that Pace offers and I can’t wait to see them on campus this fall. .

With Commencement on the horizon, the excitement within our community is palpable. This milestone is more than a ceremony; it's a celebration of the determination, achievements, and future endeavors of our graduates.I hope to share news about this year’s Commencement honorees soon. For all our soon-to-be alumni: be sure to stay informed about critical deadlines and preparations, ensuring a memorable and smooth transition to this significant next chapter.

Our campus is alive with stories of innovation and collaboration, from groundbreaking faculty-student research endeavors, to enriching global perspectives, and the empowering services provided by our Career Services. These stories not only highlight the academic excellence at Pace but also underscore our commitment to preparing students for success beyond the classroom.

Finally, keep an eye out for the Great Colleges To Work For survey, launching on March 11 via email. This crucial initiative is part of our commitment to workplace excellence, and we encourage all full-time faculty, staff, and adjunct faculty to share their perspectives. The survey is voluntary, confidential, and a key tool in assessing our progress and identifying future priorities. Let's seize this opportunity to voice our experiences and contribute to making Pace an even greater place to work.

As we anticipate the arrival of spring, let's embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Together, we will continue to advance, driven by our shared commitment to excellence and the Pace mission.

There’s a lot going on, and there’s more to come.

Let’s go get it.
