Pace Now

Recently, Pace University released our first-ever Pace Business Poll. It was a deep look at business conditions in the New York City metro area, where we have campuses in lower Manhattan and Westchester County.

“We’re excited about fully reopening,” says Marvin Krislov, president of Pace, which at press time was “expecting to be fully in-person for the fall with a full slate of activities, including athletics and community events.”

Students begin arriving at our campuses in New York City and Westchester County next week, and we were — are — eager to welcome them to the college experience they want to have.

At Pace University, we’ve long prioritized preparing our students for the workforce, giving them the skills, tools, and experiences they need to hit the ground running in their careers after graduation. As part of that commitment, our remarkable Career Services office works intensively with students to prepare them for the job market, coaching them on resumes, interviews, and other parts of the application process. Our efforts deliver: Our placement rates are consistently above national averages.

The president of Pace University, Marvin Krislov, has an op-ed in the Daily News about the importance of requiring vaccination for students. “The numbers are less impressive among the college-aged. Statewide, only about 55% of those aged 16 to 25 have received one dose, and only about 49% are fully vaccinated. Colleges and universities have a unique role as educators, as community leaders, and frankly as good neighbors to help ensure everyone around us is protected.”

We want to get back to in-person learning and in-person living, to working together, eating together, socializing together. We want to bring back college sports. We want to bring back big, celebratory commencements. We want to do what we always do: Help transform young people’s lives through the power of a college education. But for that to happen, they need to stay healthy. We need to make sure they’re vaccinated.

The court’s decision “demonstrates thoughtful and responsible decision-making”, said Marvin Krislov, the president of Pace University, who as general counsel at the University of Michigan led a successful Supreme Court defence of Michigan’s affirmative action policy.
