On Tuesday, October 19, 2021, the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at Pace University hosted an alumni panel dedicated to the topic of the month, cybersecurity.
Facilitated by faculty members Li-Chiou Chen and Darren Hayes, the panel comprised of four alumni who came together over Zoom to share their wisdom and expertise with current students.
Alumni panelists included:
- Michael D’Angelo, Director of Forensics Operations practice at Driven
- Pierre Jeppsson, Senior Associate at Ankura Consulting Group
- Daniel Walker, Senior Intelligence Analyst, Homicide Bureau, Bronx District Attorney’s Office
- Jasmine Washington, Computer Scientist, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)
Over the course of the hour long conversation, panelists discussed their current positions, how they got there, and what about their experience at Seidenberg helped prepare them for a career in cybersecurity.
The panel was recorded and will be released soon (we’ll update this post when it is). In the meantime, here are some quick answers to pressing questions Seidenberg faculty posed:
What’s the most significant cyber security problem right now in industry or in government?
Jasmine: Supply chain risk – being aware of what third parties you’re connected to and how they are secured... another trend is ransomware attacks. We see that really relevant relevant now that we’re doing telework and we’re working from home and we’re doing this education at home
Daniel: Phishing emails, because I know that is still prevalent today. I know a lot of you probably think, Oh, maybe it was done, five years ago, but no today it’s still happening. People are still clicking on links.
As a hiring manager, what do you look for in a candidate?
Michael: I want to find analysts or investigators that... maybe don’t know the full breadth of what’s out there and they want to get their feet wet. Even more, they want to be exposed – they want to delve into new topics and continue to learn... the ability to go outside of your comfort zone.
What advice do you have for interviewing?
Pierre: For me, It was just the conversations I was having. So, I did like three or four interviews... but I didn’t let them interrogate me. They asked me about my life, and I just told my story... there wasn’t enough time for them to go “so tell me about some-” you know... they hit you with those kind of gotcha interview questions. I was enthusiastic and I really thought a lot about what I would say. I even did some background work, like I went on the Anchor website and I looked at their mission statement and I looked at their history and what their employees do in the matters that they’ve been involved in and it... painted a picture for who I might be talking to and once I knew who I was talking to I could just be myself. You tell them about yourself and they go “Okay, this is a person I could see working here, somebody I would want to work with.”
The recording of the event will be available soon – we’ll share on Seidenberg social media as soon as it’s up!

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Launches Online Program in Health Law and Policy
The innovative program expands access to vital legal education for healthcare professionals in a post-pandemic era.
The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University has launched its first fully virtual program in Health Law and Policy to meet the increasing demand for legal education in the health care sector, spurred by industry growth and by an ever-evolving legal, regulatory, and financial environment for healthcare professionals.
The Law School has long offered robust training in health law and policy for both lawyers and students enrolled in its JD program, but chose to expand its Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy online to accommodate practicing lawyers seeking flexible education, as well as health care professionals and administrators who require the legal knowledge to adapt to changes in the industry.
“As healthcare booms in the state and in the region, legal and health care professionals need to have a strong understanding of the legal, regulatory, and economic context in which they and their clients operate. They need to be equipped to deal with rising challenges in health equity and human rights, know how to advise on transactional and compliance matters, and be skilled in influencing public policy,” said Horace E. Anderson Jr., Dean and Professor of Law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law. “Our new online Advanced Certificate in Healthcare Law and Policy builds on our long-standing expertise in health law and expands access to advanced legal education for working professionals from across the region and beyond.”
Haub Law designed its online Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy to deepen students' understanding of the regulatory complexities that affect the US healthcare system through live virtual instruction and asynchronous activities delivered by its expert faculty. Regardless of any prior legal background, students can enroll in the program on a part-time basis and have the option to finish in just one year, benefiting from a fully online class schedule.
“Specialized knowledge of health law offers increased opportunities for lawyers and professionals to advance their careers in today’s job market,” said Jessica Bacher, Director of the Health Law and Policy Program. “Our faculty are expert practitioners and researchers with decades of experience as leaders in New York healthcare organizations. Students will benefit from small group instruction delivered by professors who are at the intersection of rapid changes in the field and can help them put this knowledge to immediate use in their professions.”
The Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy program will accept lawyers, as well as non-lawyers, such as insurance, risk management and compliance professionals, hospital administrators, clinicians, and leaders in a broad range of allied fields, including nonprofits and government agencies who are seeking legal literacy. The program will consist of 15 credit hours with 4 core courses, including a workshop in lawyering skills. Specialized electives include insurance law, accounting for lawyers, elder law, environmental law, nonprofit organizations, the legislative process, and more, or students may opt to pursue guided research, independent research or an externship for credit.
“The healthcare sector is a huge part of the GDP, and there’s a lot of opportunity. But our system is complicated and convoluted, involving many different programs like Medicare and Medicaid,” said Haub Law Professor Barbara Atwell, a health law expert/scholar. “What sets the Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy apart is the way we really get to the nuts of bolts of how those programs work and the role of the law.”
Haub Law is currently accepting applications for both its in-person and online Advanced Certificates in Health Law and Policy for the Fall 2022 semester.
