To extend the learning outside the classroom, Discovery students will participate in special cultural events together including Broadway plays, NYC Museum trips, retreat weekends and concerts at the Westchester Philharmonic. Discovery students will reside in Valley House on the Briarcliff campus. In Valley House they will be joined by upperclassmen who will act as Peer Educators assisting with coursework, study skills, and participating in scheduled events. The Office of Adult Services in Pleasantville is offering an orientation seminar called Passages for non-matriculated students who wish to matriculate and for newly matriculated students who need information and support in becoming active members of the Pace Community. As a pilot projection on the Pleasantville campus, Passages will be offered for Fall 2000, and run for eight weeks as a non-credit seminar.
Passages is designed to address the concerns of adult learners with a central focus on advisement.
In addition to on campus meetings, an online component is being developed with the cooperation of McGraw Hill. Because adult students often require flexibility in scheduling this online web site will allow the posting of the course syllabus, class materials, and links to important research sites and enrichment activities. Additional Fitness Rooms Added to the Pleasantville Campus Pace University is pleased to announce the opening of two new Fitness Rooms on the Pleasantville campus. These rooms are equipped with a Universal Weight Machine for strength training and various fitness machines for aerobic conditioning. There is no healthier way to alleviate stress during the semester and throughout the school year.
