    PaceCast with Marvin Krislov: Episode 9 Pace University's President Marvin Krislov returns with episode nine of PaceCast! This time, he sits down with Pace's very first Chief Diversity Officer Tiffany Hamilton to discuss the importance of inclusivity and diversity in higher ed and on campus at Pace University. Available for listening at: https://soundcloud.com/user-479814349/pacecast-with-marvin-krislov- episode-10 Marvin Krislov: The people of Pace University are doing amazing things and I want you to know more about them. I am Marvin Krislov, the president of Pace, and this is the PaceCast. Marvin Krislov: Pace University is a vibrantly diverse community. About half of our students come from underrepresented communities. Nearly two thirds are women. Our students come from 47 states and the District of Columbia and from 51 different countries around the world ranging from Albania to Zimbabwe. Nearly half of our incoming first-year students are the first in their families to attend college. More than a third of our students are eligible for Pell grants, which means that they come from low-income families. Marvin Krislov: We're very proud of that diversity. Our long-standing mission of Opportunitas for us means that we open our doors to all hardworking, ambitious students regardless of their backgrounds. But we want to make sure that we're living up to that commitment. That's why this summer we hired our first-ever Chief Diversity Officer and Associate Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion. Tiffany Hamilton is that person and she's in the studio with me today.
