Entrance of One Pace Plaza
CARE Team

Who is on the team?

The CARE Team is present on all three of Pace's campuses and consists of University personnel with expertise in law enforcement, threat assessment, University operations, medical and mental health, and student affairs. Membership is based on the position and not the individual. The members listed below have regular contact with campus community members, which directly aids in the assessment of individuals and/or the authority to recommend the appropriate action to decision makers. The team may also consult other individuals as needed, such as a faculty member (who has a concern about a student), a roommate, family member, staff with other areas of expertise, local law enforcement, and so forth.

The team reviews CARE reports and identifies resources that can be coordinated in support of students of concern. We encourage any concerns regarding disturbing or dangerous behavior be submitted using a CARE Report, but any member of the team below is available to advise you on the process or help you determine if a CARE report is the next best step.

In the case of an emergency that requires immediate response, please contact Safety and Security.
