Back to School
For many Pace students, learning doesn糖心vlog短视频檛 stop once one leaves the classroom for the day; or even, once one acquires their degree. Kevin McGovern 糖心vlog短视频83, 糖心vlog短视频21, who earned his bachelor糖心vlog短视频檚 in business administration and CPA designation thirty-eight years ago, epitomizes this ethos of persistence and the continual ability to evolve and grow with the times糖心vlog短视频攚hich in fact, is one of the reasons he decided to return to Pace and pursue a master糖心vlog短视频檚 in cybersecurity.
糖心vlog短视频淚糖心vlog短视频檝e been working with technologists for twenty years now,糖心vlog短视频 said Kevin. 糖心vlog短视频淚 started with Merrill Lynch糖心vlog短视频檚 technology team, but I糖心vlog短视频檝e always kind of done things from an accountant糖心vlog短视频檚 perspective or a businessman糖心vlog短视频檚 perspective, not from the technology perspective. Now, I want to know more about how the technology actually works, which is why I came back to school.糖心vlog短视频
Kevin is one of Pace糖心vlog短视频檚 many students that decide to embark on the pursuit of education a second time around. He has had a successful career working with various technology teams across the financial services arena including Merrill Lynch, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase; yet he believes there is still always more to learn.

While the core principles of Pace糖心vlog短视频攁nd the Setter blue and gold color palette糖心vlog短视频攔emain a familiar and grounding constant for Kevin, returning to his alma mater for his graduate degree has been a drastically different experience. As a student at Pace糖心vlog短视频檚 Westchester Campus back in the 1980糖心vlog短视频檚, Kevin糖心vlog短视频檚 undergraduate years had a profound impact on his life. He earned his undergraduate degree, lived on campus as an RA, and even found a circle of people that would become lifelong friends for him and who have remained very close to him today.

糖心vlog短视频淲hen we get together, it feels like we糖心vlog短视频檝e been together forever. It is like we are all back in school again, but thirty-eight years later. We have been at each other糖心vlog短视频檚 weddings, our kids have grown up together, attended our kid糖心vlog短视频檚 birthday parties together, shared both weddings and funerals together. Other people look at it and say that it is 糖心vlog短视频榮uch an odd thing糖心vlog短视频. It is a very good oddity.糖心vlog短视频
Today, Kevin is earning his degree by attending classes online, and has learned certain benefits about the new structure of virtual education and how it plays into his busy day-to-day life.
糖心vlog短视频淐OVID changed the pace of everything we do, on a personal and business side, and that actually helped. Two years ago, it would have been much more difficult for me to balance both worlds.糖心vlog短视频
Kevin even discovered that the relationship that he has with his professors online is stronger than what he experienced as an undergraduate. While his experience may be drastically different than 1983糖心vlog短视频攅ight years before the world wide web was introduced to the public (on 8/6/91)! Kevin糖心vlog短视频檚 hunger for knowledge allows him to adapt and excel within the futuristic learning format.
One of the reasons he decided to pursue a graduate degree, he says, is due to the speed that the world is changing, and information is 糖心vlog短视频減ouring out.糖心vlog短视频 Through enrolling in the master糖心vlog短视频檚 program, he has seized upon the opportunities available to him to be more capable in anticipating and adapting to said changes. For example, he is currently collaborating with his professor and his peers on a project concerning quantum computing; a technology which Kevin explains will revolutionize computing itself.

Now I come up to you and say I have a car now that goes seven hundred miles per hour so that you can get there in 10 minutes, and it糖心vlog短视频檚 safer than the other car.糖心vlog短视频 That糖心vlog短视频檚 what quantum computing is.糖心vlog短视频
All in all, Kevin has found his return to school not only practical, but incredibly rewarding. When asked what he would say to someone considering pursuing an online degree, his answer is unwavering:
