OPPORTUNITAS: The Promise of Pace is the motto of

Pace: Opportunitas. A remarkable array of living, learning and

working opportunities await each student. This comprehensive

University offers five undergraduate schools and colleges and

more than 100 academic majors.

* THE FACULTY -- The faculty at Pace bring practical

experience in a discipline or profession to their classroom

teaching. They know what it takes to succeed because they've

experienced success themselves. Professors pursue research in

areas that span the curriculum including business, accounting,

biology, communications, the natural sciences, health care,

nursing, computer science and education, among others.

* COOPERATIVE EDUCATION -- Take advantage of

the University's extraordinary Cooperative Education Program,

the largest and most comprehensive co-op program among

four-year colleges and universities in the New York City area.

Each year Pace places over 1,100 students in over 450 multi-

national, national, regional, and local organizations. The oppor-

tunity to apply classroom theory into hands-on professional set-

tings allows you to assess how you feel about a particular pro-

fession. Also, you will gain a valuable competitive edge in the

job market. One-third of the co-op students receive job offers

from their co-op employers.

* OPEN HOUSE -- We invite you to visit the University and

form your own opinion of Pace. Talk to students, talk to profes-

sors, sit in on a few classes, meet with the Admissions staff and

tour the campus. During our Open House Days, you can get

your first taste of Pace's environment through personal contact

and first hand experience.

ONE UNIVERSITY - TWO CAMPUSES: No matter

what you are seeking in a college setting, you can find it at one

of Pace's two different locations. Whichever campus you

choose, you will also have the opportunity to take courses on

the other campus.

*PLEASANTVILLE/BRIARCLIFF -- About forty min-

utes from the New York City campus, these two suburban loca-

tions, minutes apart, are administered as one campus. In addition

to a serene setting, the campus is noted for its Environmental

Center and stables complete with horses, goats, and geese. Tennis

courts, outdoor basketball and sand volleyball courts and Willcox

Gymnasium provide ample opportunities for athletics and recre-

ation. In keeping with its commitment to its students, communi-

ty and quality campus life, Pace completed construction of the

new 75,000-square foot, 17 million dollar Goldstein Health,

Fitness and Recreation Center. The campus offers many living

options ranging from three new townhouse complexes to seven

residence halls.

* NEW YORK CITY -- The New York City campus, located

in lower Manhattan, offers the best of everything that makes New

York special. A short walk from Wall Street and the famous South

Street Seaport, our New York campus stands across the street

from historic City Hall. Nearby public transportation makes com-

muting fast and easy. The 650-seat Michael Schimmel Center for

the Arts, located on campus, is the site of acclaimed student pro-

ductions, concerts and performers including the Joffrey Ballet, as

well as the new home of the celebrated National Actors Studio.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: Students with a

creative flair and a desire to communicate have no problem find-

ing an outlet; Pace sponsors two newspapers, two literary maga-

zines, two radio stations and two yearbooks. Plays, concerts, and

performances by professionals and amateurs also enhance student

life. There is also an active Student Government Association on

each campus.

The New York and Pleasantville campuses each sponsor

several fraternities and sororities. While the emphasis is on good

times and bonding, these organizations also put their energies to

good work by sponsoring community service projects. Pace

offers the opportunity to participate in athletics, either varsity or

intramural. The Setters compete in 17 varsity sports in NCAA

Division II.

2009 SEASON PREVIEW2009 SEASON PREVIEW

2008 Season Recap

The Pace University women’s volleyball team posted an overall record of 13-15 in 2008, with a 5-9 record in theNortheast-10 Conference placing them twelfth in the conference standings. The Setters were led by 2008 NE-10 All-Conference Third Team member Danielle Furka who recorded 255 kills, 266 digs, and 44 service aces last season.Furka ended her career at Pace seventh all-time at Pace University in kills with 1,055 and eighth all-time in digs with1,409. Freshman Shea Hansen was named to the NE-10 All-Conference Rookie Team after ranking fifth in the confer-ence in assists totaling 8.92 per game. Junior Sianna Johnson led the Setter attack by recording a team-high 286 killsand also totaled 40 service aces. Classmate Stephanie Kazmierczak led the team with 421, and her average of 4.13digs per game made her fifth best in the conference.

2009 Preview

After missing out on the conference tournament in 2008, the Setters are looking to bounce back in 2009. Despite losingthree seniors from last year, Pace head coach Dan Altro brings six freshmen into the mix. The Setters are looking to bea balanced squad with talented freshmen combined with the experience and skill, of the returning players.

SetterSophomore Shea Hansen is looking to dominate in the setter role once again for Pace. In her freshman season Hansenplayed in all 104 sets for the Setters. She led the team with 928 assists, which placed her fifth in the conference.Hansen also recorded, 51 kills, 38 service aces, and 161 digs, earning herself a spot on the 2008 NE-10 All-Rookieteam. Hansen will be providing strong leadership on and off the court. Freshman Nora Rugova will also look to seesome action as a setter, and as an outside hitter, being a very versatile addition to the team.

Right SideSet to make her return to the right side in 2009 is senior Jena Zoll. Zoll becomes the team captain this year, after play-ing in 61 sets last year recording 59 kills and 24 total blocks in her time played. As captain, Zoll looks to bring a positiveattitude, and will be seen as a role model for the younger players. Freshman Sara Atai will bring her aggressive block,and good setting hands to right side position in 2009. Classmate Tamilee Webb will also see playing time on the rightside this season, as her good arm swing and strong block makes her a solid middle blocker as well.

Middle BlockerJuniors Sianna Johnson and Victoria Pompilus will both return to the middle blocker role for the Setters in 2009. In2008, Johnson led the Setters in kills with 286 and also totaled 40 service aces. Johnson once again looks to be anoffensive force in 2009. Johnson is able to play multiple positions and will once again be looked at as a key piece to theteam this year. Pompilus led the team last season with 110 total blocks and 25 solo blocks. Her 185 kills in 2008 provesthat Pompilus is becoming a solid force on both sides of the ball.

Outside HitterSophomore Whitney Hilton returns to the Setters as an outside hitter this year, after recording 53 kills in 47 games in2008. Hilton has improved her passing and hittingskills throughout the off-season. Freshmen ElyseRowland, Shawna Dykens, and Susan Verdugo-DelReal look to be a solid, athletic trio of outside hittersfor the 2009 season. With her great ball control andstrong attacking skills, Rowland will be a strong addi-tion to the Setter attack. Along with outside hitter,Dykens and Verdugo-Del Real have the flexibility toplay other positions on the court. These outside hitterswill also have the guidance of former Pace outside hit-ter Danielle Furka who will be on the coaching staff asa Graduate Assistant. With Furka’s experience andknowledge on their side, Pace’s outside hitters shouldbe solid in 2009.

LiberoJunior Stephanie Kazmierczak will be back in herLibero role after totaling 421 digs, and averaging 4.13digs per game in 2008. Kazmierczak has improved onher digging ability since 2008 and will be a vital part ofPace’s 2009 squad. Sophomore Ursula Vero will belooking for more time on the court in 2009 as she willalternate with Kazmierczak for the team’s Libero posi-tion. Vero brings a lot of heart and determination to theteam.

THE PACE STORY:

Pace is a university whose resources have played an essential role in the realization of individual dreams of achievement andwhose mission is voiced in its motto: Opportunitas.

Founded in 1906 by the Pace brothers as a business school for men and women who aspired to a better life, Pace Institute beganits transformation into a modern university, with emphasis on the liberal arts and sciences, under Robert Pace 42 years later.With dynamic leadership and fiscally sound management, Pace has grown into one of the largest universities in New York State,with a multi-million dollar physical plant, an endowment of over $100 million and a reputation for excellent teaching and talent-ed, ambitious graduates.

Pace is a comprehensive university with five schools and one college that offers a wide range of academic and professional pro-grams for a large, diverse population of more than 13,000 students in for-credit programs, and in affiliated offerings. Through itsLubin School of Business, Pace continues to build its reputation for excellence in business education. The Lienhard School ofNursing, the School of Law, the School of Education and the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systemsare more recent responses to the needs of the New York City and Westchester communities for strong professional schools toprepare a well-educated workforce.

The University's decision in 1948 to develop a college of arts and sciences as both an autonomous academic unit and a founda-tion for the undergraduate core curriculum has strengthened and enriched the educational experience of Pace students and pro-vided an ongoing source of intellectual enrichment to the University. The Dyson College of Arts and Sciences is central to theintellectual life of Pace, to shaping academic priorities, and to providing ethical, humanistic and scientific principles upon whichlives and careers are founded.

At the heart of Pace's academic values is an historic commitment to excellence in teaching, as manifested by small classes, anemphasis on skill development and critical thinking, special tutoring and support services, and academic advising. Academicexperiences at Pace emphasize teaching from both a practical and theoretical perspective, drawing upon the expertise of facultywho balance academic preparation with professional experience to bring a unique dynamic to the classroom.

While the primary emphasis of the institution is on excellent teaching, the university supports and encourages scholarly activityto ensure the intellectual vitality of the faculty. While much of the work has had professional application, Pace particularlyinvites scholarship that directly relates to the classroom experience and involves students in the research process.

Pace has always had a student-centered focus and is committed to providing access to those who range widely in age, ethnicity,socio-economic background and academic preparation. Increasing amounts of institutional financial aid to help students meet thegrowing costs of a private education; locations in New York City and Westchester County; evening, weekend and summerscheduling; and special counseling and academic support services are ways in which the university has sought to enhance theaccessibility and opportunities of a Pace education.

A significant tradition of Pace University is its strong relationship with business, civic and community organizations. Offeringspecial programs and services to neighboring institutions and corporate partners, the university gains strength in return fromthese partnerships and derives benefits for its students from the networks these linkages provide.

The future of Pace University will be shaped by its traditions and values as they respond to the current needs and expectations oftoday's students. Combining excellence in instruction with personal attention, Pace provides the virtues of the small arts and sci-ences college with the curricular richness, scholarly disposition and excellent professional programs of the research and compre-hensive institution.

HISTORY OF PACE UNIVERSITY:

Founded in 1906 by the Pace brothers, Homer and Charles, The Pace Institute was a business school for men and women whoaspired to a better life.

Homer and Charles Pace borrowed $600 to rent a classroom and office in the old Tribune building in lower Manhattan to teach10 men and three women the principles of accounting and business law. That building once stood where the Pace Plaza buildingstands today.

16

Two years later, because of the overwhelming success of the Pace School of Accountancy, the Pace brothers relocated classes tothe nearby Hudson Terminal complex. Another move to the Transportation Building at 225 Broadway took place in 1927 inresponse to continued growth.

In 1948, Pace Institute was approved for college status by the New York Board of Regents. Academic expansion forced yet anoth-er move to 41 Park Row in 1951, and two years later Pace College received authorization from the State Education Department togrant the bachelor of arts degree.

Classes began on the Pleasantville campus in 1963. The year before, the Marks Hall building was signed over to the College byPace Trustee Wayne Marks, President of General Foods, and his wife, Helen. Soon after, Dyson Hall was constructed, named inhonor of alumnus, Trustee and benefactor, Charles H. Dyson. Willcox Hall was named for Trustee and benefactor Byron Willcox.

In 1965, the Undergraduate School of Business Administration, the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education wereestablished. The year following, the School of Nursing was founded and was later named after alumnus, Trustee and benefactorGustav Lienhard. In December 1966, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Civic Center building, Vice President HubertHumphrey promised to teach at Pace and conducted a Scholar-in-Residence seminar at the New York City campus.

Finally, in 1973, the State Education Department approved Pace College's petition for university status. Two years later, theCollege of White Plains consolidated with Pace University, and the School of Law was established in 1976. The assets ofBriarcliff College were acquired in 1977. In the years following, an international education center was opened by IBMCorporation, NYNEX opened a center and the Hastings Center moved its operations to the Briarcliff site. In 1983, the School ofComputer Science and Information Systems was established as its own entity. In 1997, Pace purchased the World Trade Institute,a leading-edge provider of international training programs.

Pace University today is a diverse institution with over 13,000 students. For 100 years, bright, motivated and talented men andwomen have walked out of Pace's many doors, degrees in hand, and have ventured into the world prepared for the challenges ofeach passing decade. Every year, curriculum offerings in schools and colleges are modified to meet the changing needs of ambi-tious and knowledgeable students.

Throughout the years since 1906, Pace has grown along with the talents of those who comprise what is affectionately known asthe "Pace community." The Pace tradition is something in which we can all take pride.

MISSION STATEMENT:Pace University is committed to providing the best possible private education to a diverse and talented studentbody at each Pace University location. The University’s continuous commitment to Opportunitas must beretained, strengthened and, when necessary, redefined in an uncertain world where many are excluded from thefull benefits of higher education due to economic and social factors beyond their control. Pace’s sustained empha-sis on excellence will be a constant, which will guide decision-making regarding academic programs and otherendeavors. In a world of increasing interdependence, Pace must strengthen its international efforts and continueits significant investment in technology. In addition, the University’s commitment to self-evaluation and civicengagement must remain as major goals. All of this must be accomplished during a time of considerable econom-ic change and in the context of strengthening Pace’s own financial base.
