On May 15, 2025, Stefania Szabo, Director of International Relations at Pace Global Advantage, was honoured with the 2025 G. Raymond Chang Outstanding Volunteer Award by Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). Presented at a ceremony hosted at the Sheldon & Tracy Levy Student Learning Centre, the award recognizes individuals who have made lasting contributions to the university community through leadership, mentorship, and volunteerism.

The award, named in memory of TMU’s former Chancellor and philanthropic leader G. Raymond Chang, is one of the institution’s most meaningful honours. It celebrates those who give generously of their time and experience to uplift students, alumni, and university initiatives.

Stefania’s recognition reflects her ongoing commitment to mentorship and international engagement — both in her volunteer efforts and in her professional work. At Pace Global Advantage (PGA), Stefania leads global outreach efforts that connect high-net-worth individuals, investors, and international businesses with strategic pathways to Canada. PGA provides tailored support in investor immigration, international business facilitation, and cross-border market entry. Through its integrated partnership with Pace Law Firm, PGA plays a key role in advancing economic mobility and international collaboration.

In this context, Stefania’s leadership has helped expand PGA’s global network while reinforcing the firm’s values of trust, partnership, and social responsibility. Her ability to forge connections across cultures and communities mirrors the very mission of PGA — to empower people and organizations to thrive in new environments.

Those who work with Stefania often describe her as thoughtful, collaborative, and deeply committed to creating opportunities for others. Whether guiding international clients or mentoring students at TMU, her work is marked by quiet impact and lasting influence.

At PGA we are proud to celebrate Stefania’s recognition and grateful to TMU for honouring someone whose values and contributions so clearly reflect the spirit of the award.

Congratulations, Stefania, on this well-deserved achievement.
