The Program for Accelerated College Education (PACE) offers an eight-week program geared toward working adults who want to earn an A.A. degree. Classes are offered one night a week and on alternate Saturdays.
Gillis, a CPA, comes to the program with a Ph.D. in education and an M.A. in taxation. He left a successful private sector career to teach business courses for 15 years, including seven at Pierce, before accepting the position as PACE director.
