Here is where I work at Pace University
Pace University Summer Orientation Office Staff
The summer of 2011 I got the chance to work orientation in The Student Development and Campus Activities Office. That summer I went through extensive training to learn everything there is to know about the University. The New Student and Family Orientation program is the beginning of a four year experience for the incoming student. The Orientation experience strives to emulate and espouse Pace’s core values of multiculturalism, internationalism, service and academic excellence. This experience is meant to be an upbeat environment making the students excited for their future at Pace. After orientation many students get involved right away on our campus due to the bonds and relationships they have made with fellow classmates during the orientation process.
Working in the office I got the chance to work one on one with students and their families. I answered phone calls and completed the proper paperwork that brought each freshman to our campus this year. It was an amazing experience.

Education
When choosing a school to complete my Undergraduate degree, I researched every university imaginable. I looked at schools throughout Florida, California, Chicago, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. The moment I stepped foot on Pace University’s campus I felt completely at home, and I knew this was where I would be for the next four years of my life.
Pace has given me a chance to grow into the individual I have become today. I have gained the proper professional skills needed to be a success in the working world. Pace has also taught me how to be a leader. Becoming an involved student on the college campus has given me so many incredible opportunities; such as working in the offices for summer orientation and obtaining my current job as a Graduate Assistant in Dyson Advising.
I am now continuing my Pace career after receiving my Bachelor of Arts Degree in May of 2011.Although a bit more challenging I am determined to receive my masters in Media Communications and leave my campus with a sense of pride. I will forever look back and be grateful for the education, friendships, and experiences Pace University has given me.
