OPPORTUNITAS: The Promise of Pace is the motto ofPace: 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 andform 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 matterwhat 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 addi-
tion 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 acreative 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 as well as sponsoring a cheerleading, dance and eque-
stirna teams.

2010 SEASON PREVIEW2010 SEASON PREVIEW
2009 Season Recap
The Pace University Women’s Volleyball team posted an overall record of 17-12 in 2009, with a 9-6record in Northeast-10 Conference play placing them eighth out of 16 teams. The Setters were led by2009 NE-10 All-Conference Third Team member Nora Rugova with her tremendous play recording295 kills, 220 digs, 44 total blocks, and 43 service aces. The freshman was also selected for the2009 NE-10’s All-Rookie Team. Along with Rugova, junior Victoria Pompilus was selected for the2009 NE-10 All-Conference Third Team for her impressive defensive play. Pompilus recorded 85 totalblocks, with 22 solo and 63 assisted. She also provided notable play with 246 kills and 26 digs.Freshman Susana Verdugo Del-Real and junior Sianna Johnson both proved their attacking abilitieswith 268 kills and 267 kills respectively. Sophomore Shea Hansen shined in 2009 as well, particularlyin her ability to serve aces with 44. Classmate Elyse Rowland provided her own solid defensive playwith 288 digs.
2010 Preview
After making an appearance at the NCAA Division II National Championships in 2009 the Setters lookto continue that success in 2010. Despite losing in the opening round of the tournament, new headcoach Karrin Moore feels optimistic at advancing further in the tournament this season. The Settersposses more depth this season having a more complete and balanced look. In Coach Moore’s prepa-ration, the more mature 2010 Setters have been able to adapt well to taking on many different rolesfor the team’s wellbeing. It is Coach Moore’s goal to have many of her athletes ready and willing toplay different positions on the court.
SetterJunior Shea Hansen is looking to dominate in the Setter role once again this season. In her sopho-more season Hansen played in 110 sets, starting all 29 matches. She was ranked among the top 10in the NE-10 Conference with 986 assists. Hansen also recorded 172 digs, 44 service aces, 40 kills,and 24 total blocks. Coach Moore has been working with Hansen on her foot and hand speed thisoffseason which should transfer over to more productive play in the near future. Hansen has startedas the Setter for the past two years. However, Coach Moore has mentioned that sophomore NoraRugova could see some playing time there as well.
Right SidePerhaps the personnel on the right side is the most interesting for the 2010 season. As Coach Moorestated, the right side is in a unique situation because the team has so much depth that many athletescan handle the position. Tamilee Webb, Sianna Johnson, Sara Atai, and Whitney Hilton are among afew others that welcome the challenges of the right side. In 2009 Webb played in 66 sets appearingin 20 matches, and starting 13. She recorded 72 kills, 42 total blocks, and 20 digs. Sianna Johnsonproduced well last season also. Johnson played in 109 sets starting in all 29 matches recording 267kills, 114 digs, and 30 service aces. Sara Atai appeared in 14 sets and 14 matches, while WhitneyHilton played in 10 sets and eight matches last season leaving them eager to take the next step intheir volleyball careers. Again, Coach Moore has mentioned due to the versatility of her team NoraRugova may see some playing time on the right side.
Middle BlockerSeniors Sianna Johnson and Victoria Pompilus will both return to the middle blocker role for theSetters in 2010. In 2009 Johnson recorded eight solo blocks, 49 assisted blocks, and 57 total blocks.Pompilus continued to shine in the middle blocker role leading the Setters last year in blocks.

Pompilus played in 111 sets, starting in all 29 matches posting a team-high 22 solo blocks, 63assisted blocks, and 85 total blocks. Her 246 kills in 2009 is evidence that she has solidified herworth on both sides of the ball. Coach Moore confirmed that she is expecting solid performancesout of her seniors and that Tamilee Webb may see some playing time at middle blocker.
Outside HitterSophomores Susan Verdugo Del-Real, Nora Rugova, and senior Sianna Johnson look to return atthe outside hitter position for the Setters in 2010. Verdugo Del-Real played in 110 sets last year,starting in all 29 matches. She was second among team leaders with 268 kills while recording 176digs, 35 service aces, and 23 total blocks. Outside hitter is another position on the Setter team thatwill challenge many athletes to fulfill its role. Coach Moore expressed enthusiasm on how deep thisposition will be this season. She mentioned names like junior Whitney Hilton, and sophomoresElyse Rowland and Shawna Dykens to help add depth for 2010.
LiberoSophomore Elyse Rowland and junior Ursula Vero look to make an impact at Libero and defensivespecialist in 2010. Rowland played 107 sets last season, appearing in all 29 matches, starting 13.She was second among team leaders with 288 digs while recording 83 kills, 15 service aces, and13 total blocks. Vero played in 12 sets, appearing in nine matches. Rowland and Vero both look tofill the void left by Stephanie Kazmierczak who was ranked top 10 among the NE-10 Conference indigs last season.
Expectations After making an appearance at the NCAA Division II Championships last year the Setters have anumber of goals and expectations for the 2010 season. More specifically as a team, the Setters areshooting for an undefeated home record in 2010 taking them to at least the final four of theNortheast-10 Conference Championships. Coach Moore has hinted that she personally would like tosee the Setters accomplish 20 victories taking them to the second round of the NCAA Division IIChampionships. Making it to the second round of the championships is a quality goal because itmay be within reach and it continues to make the team work harder to further advance results fromlast season.

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.
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.
