          IN HONOR OF PACE UNIVERSITY'S CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 25, 2006

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of the most 
respected private institutions of higher learning in my district, Pace 
University, as it celebrates a major milestone, the 100th anniversary 
of its founding in 1906. This great school has grown from humble 
beginnings as a School of Accountancy to become a vibrant and dynamic 
Liberal Arts University offering more than 100 majors.
  Over the last century, the school has lived up to its motto, 
Opportunitas, by offering its students the opportunity to discover and 
fulfill their potential, and affording its distinguished faculty and 
outstanding staff the opportunity to achieve excellence. As part of its 
15-month centennial celebration, Pace University will be hosting 
lectures, symposia, service activities, and other special events that 
reflect on its long history of opportunity and innovation.
  With its six schools and colleges and two main campuses, Pace is 
consistently ranked among the top quarter of 4-year colleges and 
universities in the country. Pace's School of Law is nationally 
recognized for the excellence of its Environmental Law Program and its 
Lienhard School of Nursing has been an acknowledged leader in nursing 
education, research, and practice for more than 35 years.
  Ultimately, Pace University's greatest strength has been its people--
its faculty, staff, students, and alumni--and its most profound 
achievement can be seen in the countless lives that have been 
transformed by the Pace experience. I offer my sincere congratulations 
to all those that have helped the school prosper and grow over the past 
100 years.
