As the academic year comes to a close, our Pace Community comes together to celebrate Commencement. It is one of the most meaningful moments of the year, when we recognize the hard work, determination, and growth of our graduates as they prepare to take their next steps beyond the University. There is a real sense of pride in seeing all they have accomplished and confidence in where they are headed next.

In this issue of Pace Now, we highlight this year’s student award winners. These students have distinguished themselves through academic excellence, leadership, and service. Their accomplishments reflect the strength and spirit of Pace and the many ways our students prepare for what comes next.

We also invite our newest alumni to share their post-graduation plans through the First Destination Survey, a survey designed to let us know where the next step in your journey is taking you. Hearing where our graduates go, and what they pursue, helps us better understand how a Pace education supports their goals and strengthens opportunities for future students.

As summer begins, I encourage you to take time to rest and recharge, while also looking ahead to the opportunities in front of you. Whether you are continuing your studies, starting a new role, or exploring what comes next, this season offers a chance to build on all you have achieved.

Thank you for being part of the Pace Community and for all you contribute to it.

Sincerely,

Marvin Krislov
President, Pace University
