What does it mean to be a PACE student: To me, it means community. I was able to meet amazing friends through PACE. I also had an advisor who guided me through what being a college student looks like. I am a first-generation student, so PACE helped me navigate college and I didn’t feel too lost or overwhelmed because of all the people who helped me through it.
