May 2025: A Message from President Krislov
ThereÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™s a special kind of energy that fills our campuses in MayÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ”the buzz is building.
You can feel it in every final presentation, every group huddled over laptops in the library, and every student walking the halls in cap and gown for photos. Commencement season is hereÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ”and I couldnÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™t be more excited.
ItÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™s one of my favorite times of year. Not only because it marks the culmination of years of hard work and dedication from our students, but because itÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™s a moment when the entire Pace Community comes together to celebrate all that weÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™ve accomplishedÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ”together.
This yearÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™s lineup of Commencement speakers reflects the ambition and talent that define the Pace experience. WeÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™ll be joined by Josh Silverman, CEO of Etsy, who will share his insights at our Main Ceremony. Golden GlobeÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ“nominated actor and Pace graduate Cooper Koch (ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™18) will speak to students from Dyson, Sands, and the School of Education. Dr. Launette Woolforde (ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™93), a nationally recognized nurse leader and proud Pace alumna, will address graduates from Lubin, the College of Health Professions, and Seidenberg. New York City Fire Commissioner Robert Tucker (ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™96) returns to Haub Law, his alma mater, to help honor this yearÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™s law graduates. And Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi, will offer her perspective to graduate students from Seidenberg.
Their voicesÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ”thoughtful, creative, and full of heartÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ”embody the spirit of Opportunitas that defines a Pace education.
Most of all, IÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™m looking forward to seeing youÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ”our graduatesÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ”walk across that stage. To seeing your families and loved ones beam with pride. To celebrating your grit, your ambition, and your incredible journey as Pace students and now alumni.
You did it. YouÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™re ready for what comes next. And I canÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™t wait to cheer you on.
See you at Commencement.
