Message from the President

May 15, 2023

Dear Pace graduates, parents, families, and friends: You did it.

To the students in the Pace University Class of 2023: You worked hard, you set goals, and you achieved them. You took advantage of the opportunities offered to you, and despite unprecedented challenges, you achieved what you set out to. We couldn’t be prouder of you. You deserve every bit of praise we can give you for this great accomplishment.

To the parents, families, and friends supporting these graduates: You’re part of their success, too. You helped them do the work, helped them be their best, and helped them get to this ceremony. On the graduates’ behalf, I want to thank you for everything you’ve done and will continue to do.

Students, you have whole lives and so many opportunities ahead of you. You have grown and explored here at Pace, but your worlds are about to get immeasurably larger. You’ll have careers, families, and opportunities that you never imagined. As you grow and change, as the world changes, the skills you learned here will always stay with you: how to think, how to learn, and how to be a valued part of your community. I know the perseverance and resourcefulness that brought you to today have demonstrated that you will accomplish anything you set your mind to.

As we send you into the world, I want you to remember Pace and the people you encountered here. This place and this community have made you who you are. You are part of the Pace family, and you’ll always be welcome here. Career Services will always be available to you. The Pace University Alumni Association will keep you connected. We will be here to support you as you move through your lives, and I hope you will help us create opportunities for the next generation of Pace students.

I can’t wait to see what you’ll do next.

Sincerely,

Marvin Krislov President
