Summer 2023: Leadership Letter

Posted

Haze from the Fourth of July fireworks is still drifting out of Lower Manhattan, but at Pace University we’re already preparing for more celebration.

When the new semester starts just after Labor Day, we’ll be opening our new campus center at 15 Beekman, and you can read all about it in the Summer 2023 digital issue of Pace Magazine.

15 Beekman will include a brand-new residence hall (with envy-inducing views over the city and region), a new home for the Seidenberg School, and new common spaces and academic spaces, a new library, and state-of-the-art dining services. It’s all part of the ongoing transformation of our downtown home that will include the comprehensive renovation of the east side of One Pace Plaza that will get underway this fall, including the new Performing Arts Center and so much more—all covered in this issue of the magazine.

You’ll read about the ongoing celebrations for our national champion women’s lacrosse team, who brought the Division II trophy home to Pleasantville this spring, becoming Pace—and Westchester County’s—first-ever national championship squad. You’ll also read about triumphs achieved by our new esports team, more rankings successes for our Haub law school, and awards won by our faculty and students.

Elsewhere in the issue, we look back—just a few months to Commencement 2023, when we celebrated all our grads on a perfect day in May, and also across the decades, in a fun feature that pulls gems from the Pace archives.

Finally, this issue of Pace Magazine also looks at one of the most important issues facing campuses today—and a priority for both of us as leaders: supporting student mental health. This is a national issue, and Pace is committed to providing our students with the resources they need. “From Awareness to Action” looks at how we’re doing that.

The construction, the activities, the supports, it’s all part of what we do at Pace—create opportunities for our students to succeed.
