Westchester Rising featured Pace University in "Smashing Pumpkins Event Smashes Stereotypes at Pace"
More than 200 Pace University students attended the fourth annual Smashing Pumpkins/Smashing Stereotypes event Nov. 4 organized by Pace student organizations. Students lined up to smash pumpkins with a sledge hammer after writing their most hated stereotype in it.
The event is a cathartic way for students to express their distaste for stereotypes that pigeonhole us into unwanted roles. Pace University President Marvin Krislov took a whack at it- pulverizing his pumpkin after talking with students.
The event was a collaboration between Pride at Pace, Hillel, POWER, Phi Lam, FIRE, CCAR, and multicultural affairs and diversity programs.
Smashing Pumpkins/Smashing Stereotypes is in keeping with Pace University's larger efforts to celebrate the university's diverse and inclusive community and foster an environment of respect for LGBTQ and all students.
