Pace Now

When Christine Suddeth ’21 enrolled in the Pace School of Performing Arts as a musical theater student, she was in the midst of recovering from a voice injury—one that her voice teacher, PPA Professor Amanda Flynn, helped her recover from. Her injury and subsequent recovery led her down a path of research and investigation.

As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold of the world, the intersection between public health, safety, technological data, and the law became rather complicated. These questions prompted Joseph Peterson '22 to formulate a research topic titled “Who Has Your Health Data, What Are They Doing with it, and What Can You Do About it?: Legal and Technological Issues Related to Contact Tracing of COVID-19 Infections.”

When her summer internship plans fell through as a result of COVID-19, Isabelle Labianco '22 was able to rebound quickly. She spent the next several months researching the intersection between behavioral economics and media messaging; particularly, how they combined in a rather unique fashion during the early months of the pandemic.

Pace has spent the past several years taking undergraduate research to the next level. Read about how the newly formed Center for Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURE) is empowering Pace students to make impressive strides in student research.

With the inaugural class of Teaching Fellows, Pace University’s Faculty Center is building upon its strong foundation to become a major hub for interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation at Pace.

In a year unlike any other, the transformative power of Pace has the ability to uplift and hearten. Here are just a few of our most inspiring Pace moments.

When does a career become passion? When you’re able to use your skills, talent, and education for the greater good. It’s something Harriet Feldman has been doing for more than five decades, starting from her graduation from a diploma nursing school.

What is a hackathon? It’s a timed, team-based problem-solving day of strategy and execution where tech is used to save the day. Teams, of all different skills and abilities, come together to design software or mobile apps to solve real world issues and problems.

Three leaders with diverse backgrounds and a broad range of expertise in healthcare, technology, and business operations have joined Pace University’s Board of Trustees.

The times, they are a-changing. If rapid advances in technology and healthcare and massive changes in climate and community life were not already fundamentally altering how we live and work prior to this past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly kicked these shifts into high gear.
