Five businesses. Enterprising students. Stellar outcomes. The Center for Student Enterprise (CSE), comprised of student-run businesses, provides Pace and the surrounding business community with much-needed services and conveniences from Pace’s Pleasantville campus. Under the direction of Kathryn Winsted, PhD, associate professor of marketing and director of the Center for Student Enterprise, business students meet with like-minded peers and professors within Lubin to make their entrepreneurial ideas come to fruition.
Covering a range of industries and providing a bevy of services, the businesses include:
- Pace Perk Café—a late night café that serves hot/cold beverages, snacks, and hot foods
- Pace Mart—a campus store offering everyday convenience and school items
- Pace Delivers—a local restaurant delivery service that serves residence halls
- Pace Fit—serves acai bowls, healthy smoothies, shakes, and snacks in the campus fitness center
- Pace Connect—a student-run research and call center. The center administers the Pace Poll, which studies issues affecting downstate New York businesses
The CSE provides business students with opportunities to gain critical managerial experience while attending school and managing student-operated businesses. Senior managers meet weekly with Professor Kathryn Winsted, PhD, and present regularly to a Board of Directors. CFOs are advised by an accounting professor.
