A Community Dedicated to Excellence

At the heart of the University’s greatness is its people. We will excel at attracting, nurturing, training, and rewarding faculty, staff, and administrators who are dedicated to creating knowledge and meaningful experiences for our students. We will strengthen the Pace Community through leadership and development. We embrace a culture of quality improvement and shared values to ensure an informed, responsive, caring, inclusive, and effective community. We will model the values we instill in our students.
