You're Invited: Class of 2023 Photoshoot
Graduating this year? You're invited to participate in a night-time photo shoot featuring the Empire State Building lit up in Pace blue and gold. All graduating students are welcome to join us on Friday, May 12.
Who
All graduating Pace University students, regardless of campus or degree type.
What
In celebration of Commencement 2023, the Empire State Building will be illuminated from sunset to 2:00 a.m. in Pace blue and gold. We're inviting all graduating students to join us for a photo shoot opportunity with the Empire State Building in the background. We'll be using these photos on @paceuniversity social media, at Commencement, and more. This is a great opportunity to get some really beautiful professional shots of you and your best Pace friends. Don't forget to share your photos on social using #PaceGrad.
When
Friday, May 12, at 7:30 p.m.
Where
Our photographers are setting up shop in Madison Square Park. Once you register to attend, we'll be sending you a text message with our exact location. Here's the address with information about how to get there:
Madison Square Park
11 Madison Ave
New York, NY 10010
The park is bordered by Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue and 23rd Street and 26th Street.
- By Subway
Take the R, W, or 6 trains to the 23rd Street station. - Via Grand Central Terminal
If you're coming to Manhattan via train to Grand Central Terminal, take the 6 train downtown for three stops and exit at the 23rd Street station. - Via the Pace Shuttle to the NYC Campus
Take the R or W train uptown from the City Hall station to the 23rd Street station, or take the 6 train from Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall station uptown to the 23rd Street station.
Or use Google Maps, because that's way more accurate. You're smart, you're about to graduate, you can figure this out.
What to Wear
We're thinking something with a graduation vibe...maybe your cap, maybe your gown, maybe both. Or, if you don't like the look of the traditional mortar board, why not try something a bit more Pace-y? We can't recommend Pace swag more highly. But we're really not picky—these photos are for YOU! So come dressed ready to pose.
