Office of Development and Alumni Relations

The Office of Development and Alumni Relations supports and engages more than 170,000 alumni worldwide through the Pace University Alumni Association. All Pace graduates automatically become members upon completion of their degree, gaining lifelong access to a vibrant community and meaningful opportunities to stay connected and give back to the University.

The Alumni Association fosters engagement by offering programs, volunteer opportunities, and events that help alumni reconnect with one another and with their alma mater. Alumni are encouraged to play an active role by serving as mentors, guest speakers, career advisors, participating in alumni volunteer committees which assist in creating programming for fellow graduates, and supporting students through internships, recruitment, and networking opportunities.

Alumni engagement begins while students are still on campus through Setter Connect, our networking and mentoring platform that connects students with alumni who have volunteered to offer guidance and career support. Students interested in joining the platform or seeking assistance in engaging alumni for programs or events are encouraged to contact our office at pacealum@pace.edu.

In addition to alumni engagement, the Office of Development and Alumni Relations manages the University’s fundraising efforts, which support key initiatives such as scholarships, capital improvements, and programs that enhance the student experience. Supporting Pace is a long-standing tradition, and each year alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff, and students contribute gifts of all sizes. The Pace Annual Fund is especially critical in expanding access to education by providing financial assistance and experiential opportunities for students.
