Paula Castelblanco Finance and Management
As general manager of Pace Mart—one of the three student-run businesses coordinated by the Center for Student Enterprise—Paula Castelblanco ’17 recognized a need for a delivery business on campus to make getting food easier for students. Taking her first-place idea from a student competition, she cofounded Pace Delivers, which will provide students with a convenient way to order delivery from restaurants in the Pleasantville area.
“I am looking forward to seeing Pace Delivers succeed as a business, but also to give students the opportunity for real life experience.”

• Pace University
In May, Pace University announced the renaming of its law school to the Elisabeth Haub School of Law, in recognition of its long-standing partnership with the family of the late environmental advocate and philanthropist Elisabeth Haub, and a generous donation from the Haub family. The gift, the largest in Pace history, will establish an endowment for the Law School, strengthen the school’s renowned environmental law program, and fund innovative teaching initiatives.
“Pace University is thrilled to deepen and broaden its partnership with the Haub family, bolster our environmental curriculum, and continue leading the progress of environmental law and regulation,” said Pace President Stephen J. Friedman. “An extraordinary gift of this kind occurs when donors and institutions come together in support of a shared vision. We are deeply grateful to the Haub family and look forward to building on Elisabeth Haub’s admirable legacy at Pace University.”
“ We are enormously grateful to the Haub family for their support of the Law School and our approach to legal education.” —David Yassky, Dean, Elisabeth Haub School of Law
