THE PACE STORY:Pace is a university whose resources have played an essential role in the realization of individual dreams of achievementand whose 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, PaceInstitute began its transformation into a modern university, with emphasis on the liberal arts and sciences, under RobertPace 42 years later. With dynamic leadership and fiscally sound management, Pace has grown into one of the largest uni-versities in New York State, with a multi-million dollar physical plant, an endowment of over $100 million and a reputa-tion for excellent teaching and talented, ambitious graduates.Pace is a comprehensive university with five schools and one college that offers a wide range of academic and profes-sional programs for a large, diverse population of more than 13,000 students in for-credit programs, and in affiliatedofferings. Through its Lubin School of Business, Pace continues to build its reputation for excellence in business educa-tion. The Lienhard School of Nursing, the School of Law, the School of Education and the Seidenberg School ofComputer Science and Information Systems are more recent responses to the needs of the New York City andWestchester communities for strong professional schools to prepare 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 afoundation for the undergraduate core curriculum has strengthened and enriched the educational experience of Pace stu-dents and provided an ongoing source of intellectual enrichment to the University. The Dyson College of Arts andSciences is central to the intellectual life of Pace, to shaping academic priorities, and to providing ethical, humanistic andscientific principles upon which lives and careers are founded.At the heart of Pace's academic values is an historic commitment to excellence in teaching, as manifested by small class-es, an emphasis on skill development and critical thinking, special tutoring and support services, and academic advising.Academic experiences at Pace emphasize teaching from both a practical and theoretical perspective, drawing upon theexpertise of faculty who balance academic preparation with professional experience to bring a unique dynamic to theclassroom.While the primary emphasis of the institution is on excellent teaching, the university supports and encourages scholarlyactivity to ensure the intellectual vitality of the faculty. While much of the work has had professional application, Paceparticularly invites scholarship that directly relates to the classroom experience and involves students in the researchprocess.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 helpstudents meet the growing costs of a private education; locations in New York City and Westchester County; evening,weekend and summer scheduling; and special counseling and academic support services are ways in which the universityhas sought to enhance the accessibility and opportunities of a Pace education.A significant tradition of Pace University is its strong relationship with business, civic and community organizations.Offering special programs and services to neighboring institutions and corporate partners, the university gains strength inreturn from these 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 expec-tations of today's students. Combining excellence in instruction with personal attention, Pace provides the virtues of thesmall arts and sciences college with the curricular richness, scholarly disposition and excellent professional programs ofthe research and comprehensive 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 womenwho aspired to a better life.Homer and Charles Pace borrowed $600 to rent a classroom and office in the old Tribune building in lower Manhattan toteach 10 men and three women the principles of accounting and business law. That building once stood where the PacePlaza building stands today.

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.
