Pace University President Marvin Krislov will speak at Kendal this month. His topic will be “Higher Education in the Pandemic.” Dr. Kislov’s presentation will take place on January 25 on Zoom.

On January 4, we learned from our local superintendent how elementary and high school students, faculty and administration adapted to restrictions caused by the COVID pandemic.

On Monday, January 25, at 7:30 pm, Pace University President Marvin Krislov will discuss the pandemic’s impact on higher education. His last Kendal appearance occurred on January 28, 2019, when he announced the start of a special partnership between Kendal and Pace University.

Prior to his Pace appointment in 2017, President Krislov served for 10 years as president of Oberlin College where he formed close ties with Kendal on Hudson’s sister institution Kendal at Oberlin. Prior to that, he was vice president and general counsel at the University of Michigan.

A Yale alumnus, he was named a Rhodes Scholar and earned master’s degrees at Oxford and Yale, along with a juris doctor degree at Yale Law School in 1988.

Founded in 1906 as a one-room accounting school, Pace is now one of the largest universities in New York State, enrolling over 13,600 students in bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs in more than 175 majors and programs, across business, health care, computer science, humanities, education, science, law, and the arts. Its three campuses are located in Manhattan, Pleasantville and White Plains, home of its law school.

All Kendal residents will receive a Zoom invitation to hear Dr. Kislov’s presentation.
