Whether you’re staff or faculty or a student at Pace, your support is critical to ensuring that our classmates, colleagues, and friends stay well-fed and don’t have to make the choice between tuition/rent/gas/utilities/heath care and going hungry.
Here’s how YOU can help:
Provisions, a Bhandari Jain Family Food Pantry, is open to all students, staff, and faculty, regardless of full-time/part-time status. Any member of our community that is experiencing food insecurity is welcome at Provisions during open hours. All guests will receive a one-week disbursement of non-perishable foods—and based on availability, fresh produce. See the list of most-wanted donatable items and how to donate them. Can’t donate food? Donate your time. Provisions always needs help shopping, bagging, stocking shelves, and identifying expiring foods.
Fare Trade is a student-run mutual aid program designed to alleviate food insecurity on Pace’s NYC Campus. The program partners with Provisions, Chartwells, and Auxiliary Services to provide funds to food-insecure students. Students are encouraged to reallocate their dining dollars to the mutual aid fund by requesting a "Fare Trade" at the cash registers in the cafeteria. 1 Fare Trade is fifty cents and up to ten reallocations ($5.00) can be accepted per purchase. Learn more about how Fare Trade works and how you can donate. Looking for resources outside of Pace? The Fare Trade team has put together a list of city resources you may be eligible for if you are food insecure.
Chartwells, Pace’s food service provider, has placed a community refrigerator inside the Setters Lounge for donation and use by the Pace Community. Though it’s restocked regularly with items from the cafe, a little extra help from the community is always appreciated. If you’re planning to leave food for the community, be sure to label your items with dates, contents, and allergy warnings. We encourage you to leave fresh fruits and vegetables, pre-packaged sealed and unopened food; and dairy, bread, and eggs with clear expiration dates. Please, no leftovers, no homemade meals, no unsealed pre-packaged food, no expired food.
The Pleasantville Campus’ Mobile Food Pantry has been feeding the Westchester community since 2018. The pantry itself is the product of an award-winning partnership with the nonprofit Feeding Westchester. Feeding Westchester covers food costs, and Pace staff and students volunteer their time to ensure that the 100 or so people who utilize the pantry once a month can have access to nutritious food. While the Mobile Food Pantry is not accepting food donations right now (they have partnerships with local grocery stores), they do need donations of time—reach out to Wen Xi for information about how to volunteer.

Haub Law Adjunct Professor Erin Gleason Alvarez provides insights on mediation with The New York Law Journal.
The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University conferred the 2022 Elisabeth Haub Award for Environmental Law and Diplomacy on Brazilian environmentalist Professor Paulo de Bessa Antunes at an in-person ceremony last week, which was broadcast to supporters from across the globe representing more than 10 countries.
The challenges are real, but they're also manageable, says Christen Cupples Cooper, an assistant professor and founding director of the Nutrition and Dietetics Program at Pace University in Pleasantville, New York. "Just because candy canes, chocolates, cookies and holiday fare line almost every aisle of every store, doesn’t mean you need to buy and consume these products," Cooper says. "Keep the holidays framed in your mind as a celebration and regard food as one element, but not the centerpiece of the entire holiday season."

I chose Pace University because I knew I wanted to attend a university in New York City. Pace was also affiliated with my study abroad program, Verto Education. Through this partnership, I was able to travel for an entire year and still graduate in four years. The decision to commit to the Lubin School of Business was simple after I saw its International Management program. This major has perfectly implemented all of my study abroad experiences and has allowed me to take courses surrounded by an international student body, providing a rich learning environment that is truly a global one.
Being a member and e-board member of the Study Abroad Club has helped enrich my student experience by providing me a space to get to know other students, which has been so important yet challenging throughout the pandemic. Through online events, and finally, to the planning and execution of in person meetings and events, being part of a club has been so crucial to my social life here at Pace. Organizations like the Study Abroad Club have given me the platform to inform and, hopefully, inspire others to travel abroad.
Thailand has been my favorite study abroad destination. I spent two months travelling throughout central and northern Thailand while learning about International Development and Comparative Philosophy. I also learned so much about this beautiful country and its people. The kindness and selflessness that Thai people express has no barrier—it makes sense that the country is dubbed the 'land of smiles.' I will forever carry their notion of inclusiveness and ability to treat everyone like family with me.
My favorite business course abroad so far has been the International Management course I took in China. It was the perfect combination of lecture, discussion, and hands-on/experiential learning. A typical day included a lecture on a business topic, then an open discussion, and finally a trip. These trips ranged from factory tours to Q+As with Fortune 500 companies. The course layout really allowed me to place all the topics I learned into real life scenarios.
Studying business in different parts of the world has had a significant impact on my experience as a business student and has shaped my educational path. I have learned that it is important to be culturally conscious in the business world. By studying in different parts of the world, I now have an open mind that allows me to think at a global level. I am more understanding and will be more successful in things such as international negotiating, which requires a certain level of cultural empathy from both parties.
My favorite opportunity at Pace has been working with the Study Abroad Club and office. I am currently working with the Pace First Year Experience London students who are currently studying in London at the same time as me. It has been so fulfilling to connect with students who are spending their first semester abroad like I did. To be able to guide them through the exciting and challenging moments that come with the opportunity to travel has been such a rewarding use of my experience abroad. It is so nice to have a body of students from Pace who are all experiencing London at the same time. I have loved getting to know them.
Connect with your professors and advisors! They have life experience and advice that can help with your own journey. Also, study abroad if you can! The opportunity to see how business is done in another part of the world is so valuable in every aspect.

Dr. Onua explained that she continues returning to Pace because of the variety of programs that are offered; the knowledgeable and supportive faculty; and the excellent clinical placement opportunities that allow students to excel in the field.
Nothing says satisfaction more than a returning student. Edith Onua, DNP, RN, FNP-BC, is a shining example of how pleased students are with their experiences at the Pace University Lienhard School of Nursing (LSN).
After completing the RN to BS, Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs at Pace, #Go-Getter Dr. Onua knew she was ready to take on more. Her career path and desire to help others brought her back to LSN for her fourth degree, a Master of Science in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).
As an alumna that has already earned her doctorate degree, she explains why it was important for her to return for a second master’s degree. She has worked in correctional settings for several years and, “I have seen time and time again inmates that have mental health issues that were not taken care of in the community,” said Dr. Onua. These were the experiences that inspired her to begin the PMHNP program. She is passionate about ensuring there is accessible mental health care to as many patients as possible and wants to be able to identify and initiate prompt care to patients dealing with mental health issues. She is confident that the PMHNP program will provide her with the additional knowledge and skills to diagnose and properly care for patients who may be struggling.
Dr. Onua explained that she continues returning to Pace because of the variety of programs that are offered; the knowledgeable and supportive faculty; and the excellent clinical placement opportunities that allow students to excel in the field. “The Lienhard nursing department has wonderful faculty that are committed to raising the next and ongoing generation of nurses,” she said. “Pace offers exceptional support to their students and the nursing curriculum is one of the richest and best that I have come across.”

She advises other students to be the best they can be and to continue furthering their education with persistence while striving for the stars!
Alexa Slack’s resume speaks for herself—an exceptional GPA and a steadfast commitment to community service has enabled Alexa to graduate Pace intent on becoming a future leader in the public health space.
Peruvian and first-generation graduate Lauren Cordova, PA-S, ’22, is making a place at the table for herself and other students in underserved populations. She chose the Physician Assistant (PA) Pleasantville program in the College of Health Professions (CHP) because of the emphasis on cultural sensitivity, community service, and diversity and that it teaches the importance of representation in healthcare.
Nothing describes a #Go-Getter better then Pace University’s College of Health Professions (CHP) Lenox Hill Hospital Physician Assistant Program (PA-NYC) graduates.
Pace University has created an esports arena at 33 Beekman as a home for its varsity gamer athletes and as a future site to combine competition and academics. And because I have a kid who is actually a varsity esports athlete, I am adding this detail: Pace Esports’ Smash Gold 2 team won the ECAC Open Division Grand Finals earlier this year, with just one match loss while finishing in first place out of 76 teams in their division. Sweet.
“This is no small potatoes prosecution,” said Bennett Gershman, a professor at Pace University’s law school. “The parent company, as a felon, could be barred from having contracts with government agencies, and it could make it more difficult to do business with banks. This is a big deal."
