On Monday, May 16, Pace held the largest Commencement ceremony in our history to celebrate the classes of 2020, 2021, and 2022 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York. As this was our first full-fledged Commencement ceremony in three years, we savored the opportunity to celebrate in style with our entire community at a truly incredible venueÂ鶹´«Ã½”fitting of the accomplishments and perseverance of our graduates.

This yearÂ鶹´«Ã½™s Honorary Degree Recipients included New York City Mayor Eric Adams; US Representative for New YorkÂ鶹´«Ã½™s 6th Congressional District Grace Meng, JD; and finance and philanthropy leader Baroness Ariane de Rothschild Â鶹´«Ã½™88, MBA Â鶹´«Ã½™90. This yearÂ鶹´«Ã½™s Opportunitas in Action Award winners included Marco Damiani, CEO of AHRC NYC, and Joseph Kenner, CEO of Greyston.

Â鶹´«Ã½œWe chose Pace. Little did we know, we were not just gaining a home, but we were gaining a community filled with people who want to see all its members attain their dreams.Â鶹´«Ã½â 
Â鶹´«Ã½”Victoria L. Rooney '22, Valedictorian Speaker
