Dear Colleagues and Graduate Students,
I hope you enjoyed your summer break. Welcome back to Pace University. We have 33 new students and 59 current students enrolled in the Pace Publishing program for the Fall 2015, a total of 92 students this semester. The faculty and staff look forward to working with you and assisting you this term. This semester is very special because we are celebrating our 30th anniversary of the Publishing program!
Please mark your calendars for the following publishing events. Susan Katz will give the fall semester lecture as the David Pecker Visiting Professor on Thursday, October 29, 2015. Ms. Katz was formerly president and publisher of HarperCollins Children’s Books and will serve as David J. Pecker Visiting Professor for the 2015-16 academic year. Her lecture will take place in the Bianco Room at 1 Pace Plaza at the NYC campus from 6-8pm. She will discuss issues currently facing the publishing industry. Refreshments will be served.
Another major event and date to place on your calendar is Tuesday, November 10, 2015. At that time the Pace University Publishing Department will host the sixth Student/Alumni Appreciation Dinner that will celebrate student excellence. The Student Appreciation Dinner will be held at 163 William Street, 18th floor from 6 to 8pm. The dinner gives us opportunity to recognize student and alumni achievement and the uniqueness of our publishing students and graduates, as well as celebrate our 30th anniversary. Please make every effort to attend both events.
We wish you a very successful semester. Please feel free to contact me or faculty or staff if you have any questions during the semester. My very best to you for a successful fall term.
Sincerely,
Sherman Raskin
