Dear Pace Students,
So, it’s been a few weeks since the end of spring break and you’ve been managing your remote learning. But what about your remote
living
? Our goals
in Student Affairs are to support you, connect you, and help continue your personal development. All of this still continues even though you can’t walk into our office or see us at campus events. We are here for you!
To help you have the best remote living experience possible and connect you to important services, we have launched the
Remote Living
website. The Remote Living website brings together all of the virtual events, opportunities, and resources available to the Pace Community. We strongly encourage you to check out our upcoming events and get connected with the Pace resources that have transitioned to remote service.
We want to remind you of our services that are still available to you:
Counseling:
The Counseling Center is keeping in touch with students by phone or video conference. Need to make an appointment? Call the
Counseling Centers
. Need to speak to a counselor in an emergency outside of hours?
Call Pace Security
.
- Investing in your mental health has never been more important. Anxiety is a normal, and often healthy, human emotion. Once you identify it, you can manage it through (1) exercise, laughter, and relaxing activities; (2) virtually socializing with friends and family (it will help you smile to see/hear them); and (3) remembering to try to eat well and get some sleep to keep your immune system healthy. For more ideas on how to cope during COVID-19 times, join the Pace Remote Living campaign and visit Pace’s Remote Living website.
Student Accessibility Services (SAS)
: Even during our remote learning period, we understand you may need learning accommodations and support. Contact
SAS
to set up an appointment or discuss your accommodation needs.
Student Development and Campus Activities
: Even without a physical campus setting to host student events, we are open for business!
- It’s time for Pace Remote Living! For all students across our campuses, we have a “Remote Living” series of online programs and events for the rest of the semester. Each week of upcoming events will be shared via social media, via OrgSync, or in the latest issue of The Pulse.
- Want to host your own student organization event or weekly membership meetings? Great! Contact us to discuss hosting virtual programs—we cannot wait to see what you create.
- We are accessible via phone and email, or on Zoom chats Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. To schedule a time, please email us in PLV or NYC.
- Tips from us? Set up at a regularly scheduled time, get dressed, and plan out your day! In our own transition to remote working, we find we are much happier with a full calendar and staying connected to all of you.
- We are also participating in the Pace Remote Living campaign, so be sure to tune in on social media to stay connected.
- Whether you are on campus or off campus, we encourage everyone to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines on social distancing and wearing a mask when appropriate in order to care for those around us and our individual health.
Dean for Students
: We continue to support our students’ experience and development even from our remote locations. The Deans for Students work with all student services and collaboratively across the University. You can
contact us
and connect with us online as we support all of your Remote Living experiences. The
Guiding Principles of Conduct
remain in place to help foster and maintain respect for the dignity and uniqueness of one another. We encourage students, faculty, and staff to share any concerns regarding the behavior or welfare of others with the Dean for Students on your campus by submitting a
CARE report
so we may follow up.
This week is Cyber Setters Spirit Week, so be on the lookout for online activities as we celebrate Homer Pace’s birthday and so much more. We look forward to seeing you soon and continuing to share our remote living experiences together.
In kindness,
