Recognition Societies
Members of the Pace University President’s Society are our community’s core catalysts for forward progress. With annual gifts of $1,000 or more, this leadership group of alumni and friend donors demonstrates a powerful commitment to the future of the University and the advancement of our students. Their contributions strengthen vital programs and initiatives across our campuses, burnish the reputation of Pace among its peers, and, most importantly, unlock life-changing opportunities for our students to realize the fullness of their intellectual, creative, and professional potential.
With cumulative giving totals exceeding $250,000, members of the Chair’s Circle are Pace University’s preeminent benefactors. Their generosity has enriched the academic and professional lives of tens of thousands of students, fostered enhanced scholarship and service among countless faculty members, and propelled unique programs across the University to astonishing heights. The philanthropic vision of Chair’s Circle members is foundational to the success of the Pace Community. It is their dedicated friendship that allows Pace to fulfill the hallowed promise of our motto: Opportunitas.
The Edward J. Mortola Heritage Society recognizes donors who have established an enduring legacy at Pace University through an estate or planned gift. Named for Dr. Edward J. Mortola, who stewarded the University through a remarkable period of development during his 24-year tenure as Pace president, the Mortola Heritage Society was created to honor those benefactors who, like Dr. Mortola, have selflessly committed themselves to securing a bright and dynamic future for the Pace Community. Their generosity extends far beyond the limits of a lifetime, ensuring future generations of Pace students have every opportunity to flourish and excel.
