Q&A With Katherine Ketterer '20
I chose Pace because when I visited, I immediately fell in love with the New York City campus, which is so close to many different opportunities. I recently completed an internship at the United Nations, working with the Control Arms Coalition, an international alliance of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) which aims to end the illicit trade of small arms and light weapons. I also participated in the 2018 National Model United Nations (NMUN) conference as a head delegate, which involved supporting my fellow classmates with their position papers and the rules of the conference. It was so inspiring to see us develop into such a strong, award-winning team, which I credit to my Dyson education and the guidance of Professor Bolton and other head delegates. After graduation, I would love to work for another NGO focused on disarmament before attending graduate school, and then, either return to the UN or perhaps pursue a career at the White House!

Dyson Political Science Professor Laura Tamman appears on Spectrum News NY1’s Inside City Hall to discuss Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s handling of New York City’s projected $12 billion budget gap. Professor Tamman noted that while new mayors often blame predecessors for fiscal shortfalls, Mamdani is also signaling pressure on Governor Kathy Hochul by framing future responsibility around state action. She emphasized that regardless of prior conditions, the mayor ultimately owns the budget, and cautioned that navigating state–city fiscal dynamics requires experience and long-term strategy.
