Welcome to the Fall 2024 semester!

I hope you had a wonderful summer and are feeling as energized as I am to begin another exciting academic year at Pace. A special welcome to the Class of 2028! It was great to meet so many of you and welcome you all to the Setter family at yesterdayÂ鶹´«Ã½™s Convocation. What an inspiring way to kick off the 2024Â鶹´«Ã½“2025 academic year.

As we gather again across our campuses, IÂ鶹´«Ã½™m excited for the fresh opportunities this semester brings. Whether youÂ鶹´«Ã½™re returning or new to Pace, this will be a time filled with creating meaningful connections and making positive contributions to our community.

It is also important to acknowledge that 2024 is an election yearÂ鶹´«Ã½”a time that often brings diverse perspectives and lively discussions. At Pace, we believe in the importance of civic engagement and the free exchange of ideas. We encourage everyone in our community to express their views respectfully and thoughtfully. To support this spirit of civic duty, we will have polling locations available on both the Pleasantville and New York City campuses, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate in the democratic process.

Our community thrives on the diverse perspectives and talents each of you brings, and I am eager to see how you will continue to innovate, collaborate, and lead in the months ahead. LetÂ鶹´«Ã½™s make this semester a time for meaningful progress and success.

I look forward to seeing you at our Welcome Back receptions on September 16 in New York City and September 17 in Pleasantville where you will get a chance to chat with our new Interim Provost Jonathan Hill, DPSÂ鶹´«Ã½”and throughout the semester as we work together to build on our motto of Opportunitas.

Welcome back, and hereÂ鶹´«Ã½™s to a great semester!

Marvin Krislov
President
