This summer, Pace's digital presence got a makeover, resulting in a new-and-improved website that directly aligns with Pace's strategic priorities.
Pace's New Alumni Association
The Office of Alumni Relations is excited to announce the brand new the brand new Pace University Alumni Association.
In November 2019 the Office of Alumni Relations conducted an all alumni survey. From that survey we learned that Pace alumni wanted to be involved in the life of the University but felt as if they had not been given the tools to do so. The Association was created to do just that, to give Pace alumni the tools to better their alumni experience and, most importantly, have a voice.
On September 23, 2021 the Pace University Alumni Association was officially launched. At the helm of the Association serving in the roles of Chair and Co-Chair are Sabrina Griffin ’92 and Kelly Herbert ’06. Both of these extraordinary women are strong leaders in the Pace alumni community. They understand the gravity of taking on these inaugural leadership roles and are committed to the mission of making the association an inclusive place where all Pace alumni can find a home.
“One of my main goals is to help build that bridge from Opportunitas as a student to Opportunitas as an alumnus. You are not alone in this. You might be the first in your family to go to college, but you have a family of college education folks who are in your network, who are here to help and support you for as long as you’re here,” says Kelly Herbert. “That’s what I hope this alumni association really communicates: you are not alone, and you are inheriting a diverse, accomplished network of people who are ready and willing to help.”
In addition, we’ve created several avenues for volunteering in meaningful ways. Whether that be through a school oriented committee, our Graduates of the Last Decade committee, or one of our affinity committees. Alumni are now given additional opportunities for meaningful engagement. Being that the Association is meant to grow and change, the committees will also follow suit. As more alumni become involved and seek additional opportunities, we will continue to build committees and diversify our volunteer options.
Now, you may be asking what’s next. Well, all alumni are automatic members of the Association. No paperwork needed to join. Pace alumni are an extraordinary community of advocates, entrepreneurs, thinkers, creatives, and more. The Association is the vehicle that allows you to connect with these community members.
Get involved now and learn more about the opportunities available to you as part of the Pace University Alumni Association.
