Pace University

{{For|the high school|Pace University High School}} '''Pace University''' is an [[United States|American]] [[private university|private]], [[co-educational]], and comprehensive multi-campus [[university]] in the [[New York metropolitan area]] with campuses in [[New York City]] and [[Westchester County, New York|Westchester County]], [[New York]]. ==Programs== The environmental law program at the [[Pace University School of Law]] has received national accolades from the annual report on law schools done by ''[[US News and World Report]]'' and ''[[The Princeton Review]]''; it ranks number three in the nation in environmental law. Similarly, the graduate program of the family nurse practitioner in the Lienhard School of Nursing is ranked in the top ten such programs nationally, and has only two top-tier peers in the northeast United States -- ([[Yale University|Yale]] and [[Columbia University|Columbia]]). The [[Lubin School of Business]] is among fewer than three percent of business schools internationally with dual accreditation from [[AACSB|AACSB International]], which is regarded as being the most prestigious business accreditations worldwide. The MBA program has recently ranked among the top 20 regional, part-time MBA programs, according to US News & World Report, while the undergraduate business program ranks among the top 50 private university business programs in the country and among the top four undergraduate business programs in New York City. In addition, Pace University was named to Forbes list of "Colleges That Will Make You Rich". Furthermore, the [[Actors Studio]] [[Master of Fine Arts|MFA]] program, the only MFA theater program officially sanctioned by the Actors Studio, is located at Pace. Pace University's [[Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts]] is home to the television show ''[[Inside the Actors Studio]]'' hosted by [[James Lipton]], and previously to the late [[Tony Randall]]'s [[National Actors Theatre]]. ==History== [[File:PaceBrothers.jpg|thumb|left|155px|Pace Brothers]] [[File:NewYorkTribuneBuilding.jpg|thumb|right|The first home of Pace in 1906: a rented classroom in the ''[[New York Tribune]]'' building on [[Park Row (Manhattan)|Park Row]] in [[Manhattan]] - today the site of the building complex of [[One Pace Plaza]]. [[41 Park Row]] is to the right.]] In 1906, the Pace brothers founded the firm of ''Pace & Pace'' to operate their schools of [[accountancy]] and business. The first class of Pace & Pace was composed of thirteen men and women who were taught by [[Homer Pace|Homer St. Clair Pace]] and Charles Ashford Pace. Taking a loan of $600, the Pace brothers rented a classroom on one of the floors of the ''[[New York Tribune]]'' building, today the site of the [[One Pace Plaza]] complex. Due to rapid growth over the succeeding years, the school was forced to relocate several times around the [[Lower Manhattan]] area. The Pace brothers' school was soon incorporated as Pace Institute. In addition to its school in New York, the Pace Institute expanded nationwide featuring courses in accountancy and business law in a number of cities throughout the United States. 4,000 students were taking the Pace brothers' courses in [[YMCA]]s in the [[New York]]-[[New Jersey]] area. The Pace Standardized Course in Accounting was also offered in [[Boston]], [[Baltimore]], [[Washington, D.C.]], [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], [[Cleveland]], [[Detroit]], [[Milwaukee]], [[Grand Rapids]], [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]], [[St. Louis, Missouri|St. Louis]], [[Denver]], [[San Francisco]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]], and [[Seattle]]. Eventually, concerned about quality control at distant locations, in the 1920s the Pace brothers divested themselves of their private schools outside New York in order to devote their full attention to the original school in lower Manhattan, eventually to become one of the campuses of Pace University. Taking on the legacy after the death of his uncle Charles and father Homer (in 1940 and 1942 respectively), Robert S. Pace became the president of Pace. In 1947, Pace Institute was approved for college status by the New York State Board of Regents. Then, in 1951 the college purchased its first campus building located at [[41 Park Row]] in [[Lower Manhattan]]. This building, designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in March 1999, was the 19th-century headquarters of ''[[The New York Times]]''. In 1963 the [[Pleasantville, New York|Pleasantville]] campus was established using land and buildings donated by the then-president of [[General Foods]] and Pace alumni and trustee Wayne Marks and his wife Helen. In 1966, [[U.S. Vice President]] [[Hubert Humphrey]] and [[New York City]] Mayor [[John Lindsay]] broke ground for the [[One Pace Plaza]] [[Civic Center, Manhattan|Civic Center]] complex, with then Pace president Edward J. Mortola. The former ''[[New York Tribune]]'' building at 154 Nassau Street, across from 41 [[Park Row (Manhattan)|Park Row]], was demolished to make way for the new building complex. The New York State Board of Regents approved Pace College's petition for university status in 1973. Shortly thereafter, in 1975, the College of [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]] (formerly known as Good Counsel College) consolidated with Pace and became the White Plains campus which at the time was used to house both undergraduate courses and Pace's new law school created in that same year. In September 1976, Pace began offering courses in [[Midtown Manhattan]] in the Equitable Life Assurance Company building (now [[AXA|AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company]]) on [[Avenue of the Americas]], and moved once before moving to its current location in 1997. [[Briarcliff Manor, New York|Briarcliff]] College was acquired in 1977 and became the Braircliff campus. A graduate center was opened in 1982 in [[White Plains, New York]], and in 1987 the Graduate Center moved to the newly-built Westchester Financial Center complex in downtown business district of White Plains; which at the time of its opening, Pace's graduate computer science program was the first nationally accredited graduate program in the state of New York. In 1994, all undergraduate programs in White Plains were consolidated to the Pleasantville-Briarcliff campus, and the White Plains campus on North Broadway was given to the law school; resulting in the University's Westchester undergraduate programs in Pleasantville and its Westchester graduate programs in White Plains. Finally in 1997, Pace purchased the World Trade Institute at [[1 World Trade Center]] from the [[Port Authority of New York and New Jersey]]. On March 5, 2006, Pace students, alumni, faculty, and staff from all campuses convened on the Pleasantville campus in a University-wide Centennial Kick-Off Celebration; there was a Pace Centennial train, provided free of charge by the [[Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York)|MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority)]], to take Pace's New York City students, alumni, faculty and staff to Pace's Pleasantville campus. Former President [[Bill Clinton]] received an [[honorary doctorate]] of humane letters from Pace during the ceremony, which was held at the Goldstein Health, Fitness and Recreation Center. Following reception of the honorary degree, he addressed the students, faculty, alumni and staff of Pace, officially kicking off the Centennial anniversary of the University. Since her last visit in celebration of [[Black History Month]] in 1989, Dr. [[Maya Angelou]] again visited the Pace community on October 4, 2006 in celebration of Pace's Centennial. Two days later, on October 6, 2006, (Pace's Founders Day) Pace University rang the [[NASDAQ]] stock market opening bell in Midtown Manhattan to mark the end of the 14-month centennial celebration. On May 15, 2007, Pace University President [[David A. Caputo]] announced his early retirement from the presidency on June 3, 2007. The [[Board of Trustees]] of Pace University appointed [[Pace Law School]] dean [[Stephen J. Friedman]] to the position of [[interim]] president. Friedman has been dean and professor of law at Pace since 2004. He has also served as commissioner of the [[Securities and Exchange Commission]] and as co-chairman of [[Debevoise & Plimpton]]. ==Schools and colleges== The University consists of the following schools each with a graduate and undergraduate division: * The College of Health Professions (2011)[Contains the Lienhard School of Nursing, 1966] * Dyson College of Arts & Sciences (1966) * [[Lubin School of Business]] (1906) * School of Education (1966) * [[Pace University School of Law|School of Law]] (1976) * Seidenberg School of Computer Science & Information Systems (1983) - ''named in 2005 for [[Verizon]] Chairman/CEO & Pace alumnus, [[Ivan Seidenberg]].

Pace has about 950,000 square feet (88,258 m²) of space in Lower Manhattan. The main building, [[One Pace Plaza]], is a two-square-block building bounded by Gold, Nassau, Spruce, and Frankfort Streets, directly adjacent to the Manhattan entrance ramp of the [[Brooklyn Bridge]]. Located directly across from [[New York City Hall|City Hall]], the One Pace Plaza complex houses most of the classrooms, administrative offices, a 2,000 square foot (186 m²) [[student activity center|student union]], a 750-seat community theater, and an 18-floor high-rise residence hall (known as "Maria's Tower"). 41 Park Row was the 19th-century headquarters of ''[[The New York Times]]'', and carrying on that legacy the building today houses the campus' student newspaper ''The Pace Press'', as well as student organization offices, faculty offices, the University's bookstore, and classrooms. 41 Park Row also houses the Haskins Laboratories, 2,700 square feet (251 m²) of the late Dr. Seymour H. Hutner, where medical experiments are held, like the [[Green tea]] extract study in the international media. The buildings of 157 William Street, 161 William Street, and 163 William Street were acquired by Pace following the [[September 11 attacks]] to make up for loss of the entire 55th floor, {{convert|45943|sqft|m2}}, in the [[List of tenants in World Trade Center One|North Tower]] of the [[World Trade Center]] which used to house Pace University's World Trade Institute and World Trade Conference Center (See [[Pace University#September 11, 2001|the section below entitled September 11, 2001]]).[[File:Maria's Tower, One Pace Plaza, by David Shankbone.jpg|thumb|Maria's Tower of [[One Pace Plaza]]]]The Willam Street buildings house classrooms, offices of the Seidenberg School of Computer Science & Information Systems, offices of the School of Education, the university's [[Pace University#Other properties|business incubators]], along with Pace's [http://www.downtownmeetings.com/ Downtown Conference Center] where the [[Executive MBA|e.MBA]] residency sessions are held (Pace also has leased office space in 156 William Street).

:''Alma Mater, hearts and voices sing to thee our everlasting praise;'' :''Each and every heart rejoices at the thought of happy days.'' :''Pace, Oh Pace, we'll ne'er forget you, nor the friends we hold so dear;'' :''Memories will linger ever and will brighten coming years.''
:''Alma Mater, stand forever, love is strong as we go marching by;'' :''So to thee we raise our voices with your standard held on high.'' :''Pace, Oh Pace, we'll ever follow where thy beacons show the way;'' :''True to thee we'll be forever as we labor day by day.'' ==September 11, 2001== On the day of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Pace University, four blocks from Ground Zero, lost 4 students and over 40 alumni.
