Pace Now

There will be one debate for New York governor and you will see it here on spectrum news one tomorrow. It's this morning's top story. Now, the Republican challenger, Lee Zeldin, has agreed to meet Democratic governor Kathy Hochul for that debate. It will happen Tuesday evening live from Pace University in Manhattan. Zeldin had wanted a series base with Hochul, but the governor stood firm on only one and her challenger agreed late Sunday to do Tuesday’s, political anchors Susan Arbetter and Errol Louis will moderate the debate. Coverage begins at 7 PM Tuesday evening on spectrum news one, that race tightening with at least one recent poll reporting it as a statistical dead heat after months of Hochul holding a double digit lead.

Lubin School of Business student Isaiah Jimenez fell in love with Pace's entrepreneurship program–now, he's running two businesses, even before graduation.

Pace University on Monday, October 24 will kick-off Social Justice Week across its three campuses – in lower Manhattan, Pleasantville and White Plains – featuring events that adhere to values of equity and justice while engaging the campus community in learning activities and dialogue centered on the issues of social justice.

In its third year, Social Justice Week runs from October 24 through October 29 and serves as a way of honoring the life of Danroy “DJ” Henry, a Pace student and member of the football team who was shot and killed by a police officer on October 10, 2010. Social Justice Week is held to coincide with DJ’s birthday (October 29) and explores the connections between his story and much broader themes of social injustice in this country.

OK, a couple more quick hits before I go. Sebastian Junger, the New York Times bestselling author of Freedom, Tribe, and The Perfect Storm, will speak at Pace University’s Pleasantville campus at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 10. My former journalist colleague at The Journal News, Jerry McKinstry, alerted me to the event. Former reporters/editors almost always make the best PR people. Jerry does a fantastic job representing Pace in that capacity because he possesses a journalist’s eye for good stories. You know if Jerry pitches you, it’s worth more than a listen. The event, called “Sebastian Junger: In Conversation with Pace University,” is being held in connection with the University’s Veteran’s Day festivities. Registration is required as space is limited.

“Since my early years as a reporter, I’ve been a student and admirer of Sebastian Junger’s impressive collection of works,” McKinstry stated. “There’s a lot of ground to cover and I know the Pace community is excited to welcome him to our campus for what we expect will be an interesting discussion and insightful evening.”
