Pace Now

Pace University Art Gallery is pleased to present “Inscaping Legacies,” a major solo exhibition by the interdisciplinary artist Firoz Mahmud. Mahmud’s work draws on the histories of the South Asian Bengal region in which he is deeply rooted, and where many historical cities have been transformed by colonialism. Curated by Clinical Assistant Professor of Art and Pace gallery director Sarah Cunningham, MFA, the exhibit opens for viewing on Saturday, September 30 with a later reception on Tuesday, October 3 from 5:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m. The artist will also give a talk about his work on Wednesday, October 18 at 6:30 p.m.

With a passion for environmentalism, inspired by her grandfather’s legal background, and while pursuing a MA in Environmental Policy at Pace University, Isabelle decided to pursue law school.

Born in New Delhi, Professor Smita Narula spent her childhood in South and Southeast Asia before moving to the United States. Inspired by her parents’ work with the U.N., she knew early on that she wanted to engage in human rights work. After law school, Professor Narula accepted a fellowship at Human Rights Watch and remained with the organization for six years, first as an India researcher, and later as Senior Researcher for South Asia. In these capacities, she helped found India’s National Campaign for Dalit Human Rights and the International Dalit Solidarity Network, organizations dedicated to advancing the right to equality for more than 260 million people affected by caste discrimination worldwide.

Pace University continued its winning ways as it once again had the largest university team at the Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure in Central Park – and CBS 2 News has the story. Led by the incredible Dr. Ellen Mandel, 63 members of the Pace Community raised money and walked in the Susan G. Komen Race for the CURE.

Pace University announced the appointment of Stephanie Akunvabey as associate vice president for diversity and inclusion and chief diversity officer.
