Most recently, Holmes was named the new executive director of Pace University’s Pace School of Performing Arts. In addition to her experience in the U.S. education system—which includes a B.A. from Vassar College, and an M.A. and Ph.D. from New York University—Holmes co-founded Global Empowerment Theatre, an international nonprofit theatre organization.

Rhonda Miller, head of Pace’s BFA in Commercial Dance, wanted to build a different kind of dance program. “I wanted it to be relevant and useful—to include all forms of dance and the practical business skills dancers need but so often don’t have. We’re giving students the tools they need to navigate show business and make a living in dance.”

An Art History/Psychology major and first-gen honors student, Maruszewski speaks about merging the arts and sciences.

At Pace, I can channel my passion where it thrives: Learning and creating ways to change the economy for the better.

Jeremiah Williams '23 found his place on campus within the political science department. He cites courses taught by President Krislov and Matthew Bolton as influential in his journey to understanding the political world.

I chose Pace because the Forensic Science major is very unique as compared to other programs, and there is a great success rate in job placements for graduates. Forensic Science is solely based on facts and data collected during investigations, and as someone who values justice in our society, I wanted to contribute in the best way I knew how, which is the scientific approach. This major combines science and criminal justice, which made it an easy choice for me.

I aim to become a middle school and high school teacher, and in a few years, I’ll consider getting a degree in Psychology or exploring teaching opportunities around the world.
