Pace moves into new position

Diana Pace, director of the Counseling and Career Development Center, will move into a newly created position next summer and a search for her current job will begin soon.

Pace was named associate dean in the Dean of Students Office. Beginning July 1, her new duties will be student-centered and include expanding Grand Valley's mediation program, assisting the Division of Continuing Education in coordinating student services at the Holland, Muskegon, and Traverse City campuses, developing various training programs, and researching student retention.

Dean of Students Bart Merkle said Pace will also be a 'resource, problem-solver and consultant' for the university community.'

The search for a new director of the Counseling and Career Development Center will likely continue through the winter semester.
