Pace People

After seven years of transformative leadership, alumnus Gary Laermer ’80 retires as VP of Development and Alumni Relations. His legacy of philanthropy and student impact will inspire Pace for years to come.

After answering an unexpected call to the field of mental healthcare, Daniel Crotty ’23 has earned the title of Obama Foundation Scholar and the chance to make a far-reaching impact.

Meet Director of Energy and Resiliency Ryan McEnany. Under his leadership, Pace has achieved a 24% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, saved more than $7 million through energy efficiency, and implemented innovative programs that inspire our community.

The Pace Community has experienced the loss of two remarkable individuals whose contributions to the University and their respective fields will long be remembered. Morgan Jenness, a cherished member of the Sands College of Performing Arts faculty, and Professor Vanessa Merton, a distinguished educator and advocate from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law.
