Pace University today announced the establishment of the Barry M. and Jackie Gosin Center for Equity and Inclusion. This new center, established via a donation from the Gosins, supports ongoing efforts at Pace in anti-racism and equity, expands work to elevate job placement and entrepreneurship among Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) students, and enhances academic scholarship in these areas.
Housed on Pace's New York City campus, the Barry M. and Jackie Gosin Center for Equity and Inclusion launches with the overarching goal of increasing opportunities for underrepresented groups and fostering their success during the job placement process and throughout their careers. Specific objectives of the Center include:
- Diversifying the entrepreneurship experience and education with enhanced support and programming through the Pace Entrepreneurship Lab and Center for Student Enterprise.
- Increasing career advisement opportunities and resources for BIPOC students at Pace.
- Expanding collaborative critical inquiry and community partnerships in anti-racism.
- Supporting Pace's academic units in faculty and student research and scholarship on equity and inclusion.
- Facilitating the development of equity literacy, inclusive curricula and anti-oppression pedagogies.
