Erin McGuinness, Associate Vice President, Total Rewards and HR Operations at Pace University

What attracted you to Pace?
I am a proud Pace University student, and my professional background includes higher education. So, Pace makes me feel right at home. Plus, I know that many faculty and staff have been working at Pace for several years, and that speaks volumes to me.

How do you contribute towards the success of Pace?
The University operates true to its founding mission of Opportunitas. We each support this mission in unique ways. My primary goals include ensuring faculty and staff have access to great healthcare, and that our total rewards strategy is competitive.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A florist. There is still time.

If there is anything else, you would like to share with the Pace Community?
I love elephants, travel, and useless trivia.
