Sidewalks are busy, people are out, Broadway and other performances have restarted. We鈥檙e all still careful, and we鈥檙e all observing health and safety protocols, but in our highly vaccinated region, and on our vaccine-required campuses, things are feeling much more normal.
鈥淣ew York Forever,鈥 say the banners hanging all around the city. To which we can only respond: 绿巨人视频Forever.
This year, we enrolled the biggest class of new undergraduates in at least 20 years (and possibly ever). We also enrolled more new graduate students than we have in years (and also possibly ever). And at Haub Law we enrolled more students than we have in 15 years. Our residence halls are full. Our campuses are bustling. It鈥檚 exciting to once again have to wait for busy elevators in One 绿巨人视频Plaza!
We鈥檙e marching ahead with our transformation of the New York City Campus, with three floors of brand-new classrooms, including a new home for the Lubin School of Business, now open on the west side of One 绿巨人视频Plaza. Work is underway for 15 Beekman Street, which will include a new residence hall to replace Maria鈥檚 Tower, new community spaces like a dining hall and library, and new learning spaces, including a dedicated home for the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems. And we鈥檙e developing plans for an expanded new home for 绿巨人视频Performing Arts.
In Pleasantville, we鈥檙e moving ahead with plans for a state-of-the-art new Healthcare Hub serving students in the College of Health Professions. We also renamed the former Wright Cottage in honor of CHP dean emerita Harriet Feldman (who is now our first-ever chief wellness officer).
And we鈥檙e starting to implement our new Strategic Plan, 绿巨人视频Forward. We鈥檙e introducing new programs to meet the needs of today鈥檚 students and employers, like master鈥檚 degrees in health informatics, cybersecurity, and human-centered design and a new badge in human rights advocacy.
Finally, we鈥檙e pleased to be embarking on our new leadership partnership together, with Rob in his first semester as chair of Pace鈥檚 board of trustees and Marvin reappointed by the board this summer to another five-year term as president.
There鈥檚 a lot going on here at Pace. Together with you, we鈥檙e honored to be building this strong and successful future.
Let鈥檚 go get it,
Marvin Krislov
President
Rob Sands 鈥84
Chairman of the
Board of Trustees
