Journey Illustrated Exhibit Explores the Ways Comics Tell Stories of Everyday Heroism

Pace University Art Gallery is pleased to present Journey Illustrated, a comic arts exhibition curated by Prof. Tommy Nguyen and Anna Zhang ’24. The exhibit opens with a reception on Tuesday, February 13 from 5:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m.

The Journey Illustrated exhibit highlights seven cartoonists, graphic novelists, and illustrators who create deeply personal stories of identity that recast the mundane as heroic and celebrate the essence of the city. The artists, Tanya Dorph-Mankey, Sija Hong, Kuri Huang, June Kim, Jesse Lambert, Barbara Slate, and Ronald Wimberly skillfully combine graphic motifs and illustration techniques from their cultures of origin with commercial comic forms from the United States to invite audiences to explore intersections between cultural identities and aspects of everyday life that are often overlooked.

Nguyen, who teaches on graphic novels, says, “Images can tell a story, and a story can be told in images. In the comic arts, the flourishes, technique, characters, words, choices, style, and design come together wholly to tell the story with either bravado or humbleness."

Together Nguyen and Zhang received the Provost's Student-Faculty Undergraduate Research and Creative Inquiry Award from Pace’s Center for Undergraduate Research Experiences to collaboratively conduct research culminating in the Journey Illustrated exhibition. Zhang says, “This experience allows me to delve into the varied voices within comic arts, examining how each artist skillfully weaves personal narratives into their work. By intertwining life experiences and artistic expression, we are celebrating unique voices in comic art and the power of visual storytelling that connects everyone.”

During the exhibit, each artist will present a talk about their comic-related artistic practice or give a workshop on techniques used in graphic novel creation including lettering and narrative plotting. The gallery also received support from Pace’s Experiential Learning Network to host comic veteran Barbara Slate for a multi-day practitioner-in-residence program from February 28 through March 1. All of the gallery’s exhibits and events are free and open to the public, including workshops.

• February 15, 6:30 p.m.: lettering workshop with Jesse Lambert, in the gallery
• TBD: artist talk by Ronald Wimberly, in the gallery
• February 28–30: practitioner–In-residence with Barbara Slate, in the gallery
  • February 28, 10:30 a.m.: reading of Mirror Test: The Cassidy Hutchinson Story comic book
  • February 29, 6:15 p.m.–8:15 p.m.: narrative plotting by color code workshop
  • March 1, 1:30 p.m.: “My Life in Comics” talk
• March 7, 8:00 p.m.: panel discussion with Sija Hong and Kuri Huang facilitated by Barbara Slate, Zoom, with English and Mandarin captioning
• March 14, 630 p.m.: June Kim, in the gallery

This exhibit, which remains on view through Saturday, March 16, 2024, is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. The gallery is located in Lower Manhattan at 41 Park Row. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday – Saturday from 12:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m., Thursdays until 7:00 p.m., and by appointment.

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University trial team won the 2024 National Trial League Competition, making them national champions! This is the first time Haub Law has won both the season and the championship title since joining the competition in 2020, marking a significant milestone for the Trial Advocacy Program. Four schools made it to the finals, including UCLA, Denver, South Carolina, and Haub Law, with Haub Law finishing first. Haub Law students Chloe Devanny (3L), Liam Rattigan (3L), and Joseph Demonte (3L) competed alongside their dedicated coaches, Samantha Tighe and Hilary Quinn. “It feels great for Haub Law to have won the National Championship title before my time here comes to an end,” said 3L competitor Chloe Devanny. “We are so thankful and appreciative of the time our coaches, Sam Tighe and Hilary Quinn, dedicated to mentoring and helping us prepare for this moment over the last 5+ months. Fortune favors the hardworking!”

Chloe Devanny competed on both sides (plaintiff and defense) during the trial competition and performed excellently. The team defeated UCLA in the first round, followed by South Carolina, ultimately winning against Denver in the finals. The final round of the Competition took place in front of three judges, with Haub Law winning on all three judge’s score cards. Joseph Demonte won the award of best advocate during the finals. The team was also supported by Madison Lane (2L) who acted as a witness during the Competition and numerous other advocates who participated in the seven rounds prior to this final competition, boosting them to advance to this point. Haub Law’s team also won the Championship title for the regular season.

“Our National Trial teams championship finish is a recognition of the incredible work and talent of our students and coaches, the school’s commitment to our nationally ranked advocacy program, and the work of all our alumni coaches and student advocates,” said Director of Haub Law’s Advocacy Programs and Professor of Practice in Advocacy, Louis Fasulo. “We were the top team of 14 highly ranked schools that made it to the top four. The top four included some of the most competitive and successful programs. It is truly an honor to take home the trophy, but it is equally rewarding to be in league with such powerhouse programs. These students and coaches embody what it takes to succeed.”

Sahtrese McQueen

Class of 2024

Digital Journalism, BS

Through an initiative with The Center for Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURE) at Pace, Sahtrese McQueen recently presented research to leaders from across higher education at the annual conference of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), research entitled, Analysis on Controversial Topics and Threats on Freedom of the Press in Case Study on Pace University’s Student Newspaper.

Please tell us more about your research and how this experience was meaningful to you.

I received the Provost Office’s Student-Faculty Summer 2023 Undergraduate Research and Creative Inquiry Award after being encouraged by my professor Kate Fink, PhD, to dig deeper into our university’s student newspaper archives. What immediately drew my interest were the headlines that discussed taboo issues surrounding young adults, as well as events that influenced the recent decade, and I enjoyed reading how the student paper dealt with such impactful stories. As I researched previous decades, I saw a difference in how controversial topics were discussed in our student’s media, which brought me to analyze how our student press interacted with administration and the effects of that.

The experience of presenting this research at Middle States was so amazing. I was not only able to speak freely and converse with others interested in my topic, but also see how other student presenters’ projects opened up my own views on so many topics. I am happy and proud to have been part of a space where we were all celebrated for our work.

How did you become interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Digital Journalism?

Since high school, I have had an interest in media and being able to explain a complex topic in a way that is understandable for everyone. Journalists have an important duty to the public to present information that gives them the tools to move in a direction that benefits society as a whole. Also, I believe in having a platform where people from all aspects of society can share in a formal, respectful way. Human progress occurs through discussion, listening, and finding common ground in our experiences, and the news is where this fits naturally. I also love the versatility of the program at Pace; we don’t focus on one kind of media, but all aspects of news production, which feels as if I’m always learning something new.

Why did you choose to attend Pace?

Pace has multiple campuses and opportunities that piqued my interests and helped me feel as if I could experience college in very different ways within four years. I spent my first two years as a student on the New York City campus, and it was well worth it. I then transferred to the Pleasantville campus, for the digital journalism major, and surprisingly found that I liked it even more. It’s unique to be able to experience two very different campuses at the same institution.

As students, the ability to build skills that will help us better interact with the world around us is one of the key factors of our educational success.

What have your experiences been like with the Media, Communications, and Visual Arts Department?

The MCVA department is unlike any other I have been a part of at Pace. It has been a comfort to return each semester, and I can only describe my major as a cozy community where we all push each other to become better. In the classroom, students don’t just do what is expected of the curriculum, but actually interact with our classmates, our peers, the Pace community as a whole, and sometimes even further than that. There is a focus on academic growth, but personal growth as well. As students, the ability to build skills that will help us better interact with the world around us is one of the key factors of our educational success, and what is more important in journalism than community?

What other activities and student organizations have you been involved with?

Since the start of the academic year, I have been the news editor and senator for the Pace Chronicle, our campus newspaper, and I’m also a member of the Knitting and Crochet Club, serving as social media manager beginning in spring 2023. As someone who began college during the social isolation of the COVID pandemic, I’m happy that I now have the chance to more fully experience what Pace has to offer.

What internships have you had as a student?

The first was with Pleasantville Community TV (PCTV), a local television station, where I worked with its president and helped make my own series on community topics. I’ve also been an assistant on a faculty-led research project with Professor Kate Fink, who later became my mentor for the Summer Research Program mentioned earlier. It has been so easy to get involved with internships and opportunities on the Pleasantville campus, which I am very grateful for. Further, they have all been related to my interests in one way or another, giving me real work and learning experience I can use in the future.

What would you like to do upon graduation/what are your career goals?

I am looking to attend graduate school and give myself the chance to grow and learn more about the workings of media, production, and journalism, and see where that path takes me. I think it’s important to stay on top of my craft and be versatile; I’d love to continue working with various aspects of the creation of digital news, so I can be both in front of and behind the camera. I have always felt I was a bit of a floater, and I see myself going many places with a career in journalism.

What advice would you like to give to our current students?

More than anything, stay true to who you know yourself to be and value. If college is your vehicle to get there, then put your all into it. Feel comfort from the inevitability of time passing and take as much of it as you want to figure out what you need to succeed by your own standard. When you trust yourself, which means taking care of yourself, whatever path you are meant to be on will find you and you’ll get there with everything you need. Also, go to events, say yes more than no, stick to a reasonable schedule, take advantage of what Pace has to offer, put yourself out there, and make the best of every moment!

Joseph Ingles

Class of 2025

Currently Studying: BBA in Global Marketing Management

Member Of: Active Minds (Vice President)

Pronouns: He/Him

Image

Towards the end of his army contract, Joseph Ingles was searching for a business school that would provide him with a smooth transition from his logistics-focused role. After a strong recommendation from a lieutenant, Joseph landed at Lubin, where he has since gained real-world marketing experience and made it his mission to shed light on the importance of mental health.

Why did you choose Pace University and the Lubin School of Business?

At the end of my army contract, one of my lieutenants recommended Pace University, telling me that the Lubin School of Business is a great business school because of its opportunities and location. I chose a business program because my role in the army was focused on logistics, so I knew my skills would transfer smoothly.

I chose a business program because my role in the army was focused on logistics, so I knew my skills would transfer smoothly.

How have clubs on campus helped enrich your student experience?

Joining clubs and attending events has been important to me. This has given me the chance to meet new people organically and helped me create a great network.

You serve as the Senior Marketing Manager at Pace Perk Mart. What motivated you to apply for this position?

I was a regular customer of Pace Mart because I would be in the library religiously studying. I then learned from a shift associate that it is a student-run business and operates like a real one, with positions like Chief Financial Officer and Chief Marketing Officer. I immediately scoured their social media pages and realized they didn't have a TikTok and weren't posting Reels on Instagram. In this day and age, short-form content is necessary for reach. I saw that there was room for growth and at that very moment, I applied.

As the Senior Marketing Manager, you develop creative video content for Pace Perk Mart's Instagram and TikTok accounts. As a business student, how do you tap into your creative side? Why is it important to you to stay creative as a business student?

I am a business student but don't necessarily try to "tap in" to be creative. I don't see creativity like that. To be creative is to just be human, paying attention to what is life in general, like a friendly "hi," a nice stroll in the park, holding hands, or simple daily deeds. I have always enjoyed the arts and storytelling, and with shortform content I was able to combine those two capabilities into Pace Mart. As a business student I think it is important to stay disciplined.

How will your experience at Pace Perk Mart help you with your career post-graduation?

Pace Mart has given me hands-on experience. This opportunity has shown me the ins and outs of being part of a business. Working with different people really allows you to develop and enhance your communication, teamwork, time management, and leadership skills.

You are also the Vice President of Active Minds, an on-campus organization that promotes the visibility of mental health inclusivity for students. Why was it important for you to be part of this initiative?

I wanted to join the Active Minds organization to shed light on how important mental health is. Mental health awareness should be talked about more effectively. As a veteran, I know that mental health can impact even the strongest of people, so I know how important counseling, therapy, and friendships can be.

What has been your favorite opportunity at Pace?

My favorite opportunities include working for Lubin's student-sun businesses and having access to Pace's strong Career Services team.

Do you have any advice for other Lubin students?

My advice to Lubin students is to step forward voluntarily. In business and life, I believe that is what we are asked to do.

What does #LubinLife mean to you?

To me, #LubinLife means a community of opportunity.

Diane Kingery Gentsch is part of rich history at the College of Health Professions (CHP) and Pace University. She, along with her fellow graduates of the class of 1968, was a part of the first Nursing class to graduate from the Lienhard School of Nursing (LSN).

Diane’s college journey paved the way for almost 56 years of graduating classes from LSN. Her passion for nursing is one that current students and alumni alike can relate to.

From the age of 13, Diane knew that she wanted to be a nurse. “I became a candy striper volunteer at Oyster Bay Hospital on Long Island. I did that for two summers and I loved it. That really got me thinking about nursing as a career.”

Image

Prior to attending Pace, Diane worked at White Plains Hospital in the fall of 1965 where they offered a 3-year diploma program. After her first year was completed, the hospital decided to close the nursing program. Her class was given the option to either finish the next two years at the hospital, or transfer to Pace University. More than half of the 1968 LSN graduating class came from the White Plains program.

“We knew that most major professions require a collegiate degree and we felt it was the way of the future.” Diane and her fellow classmates were, as we know now, 100 percent correct. Nursing is now the largest health care profession in the country, with over 5.2 million registered nurses (RN) nationwide according to the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN).

Knowing you are the first of a program can be a range of emotions – you are part of the beginning of a new opportunity and your experiences will impact future generations of students. Diane and her classmates recognized this when given the option to transfer.

We wanted to be to be part of the first class of nurses at Pace and I’m proud that we took that monumental step. We were now part of the future of nursing.

—Diane Kingery Gentsch, LSN Class of 1968

Thousands of students have now graduated with their bachelor of science degree in nursing from LSN, and in 2010 the College of Health Professions (CHP) was created to provide more educational opportunities for health care. Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), and Acute Geriatric Advanced Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP) are all masters programs that LSN under CHP now offers, in addition to doctorate degrees; PhD in Nursing, and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP).

Post-graduate education allows nursing professionals to expand their areas of knowledge in new ways to prepare for the future. Dr. Jason Slyer has unique insight into these master and doctorate programs, as a two-time alum and dual program director.

“Pace’s FNP program prepared me for a challenging and dynamic career that has spanned the inpatient, outpatient, primary care, and specialty care arenas. Adding a DNP from Pace provided me with additional knowledge and skills to further enhance patient outcomes and quality of life for the underserved populations I care for. Now as a faculty member and the director of the FNP and DNP programs, I am educating the next generation of FNPs to continue to improve today’s every changing healthcare system.”

Image

Technology and research continue to grow, and the future of health care will evolve as well. CHP remains dedicated to offering and providing all students with the best education at all levels to ensure graduates are ready to enter and dominate the workforce. 2023 graduate of the PMHNP program and Outstanding Student of the Year awardee, Oz Hasis, recognized the CHP’s commitment to setting them up for success.

“The level of dedication and community that I’ve gotten at Pace University is not comparable to any other. Normally I have trust issues, but Professors like Dr. (Maryann) Martin made sure that trust was always there the entire program; always asking what we can do better, always asking if we can make something different. I can say that I can see where Pace University stands, with faculty members who support their students.” Oz has started his new role as a Psychiatric Nurse for New Horizon Counseling Center.

It's been over 50 years since Diane’s beginning at Pace, but the overarching message remains; education opens doors and opportunities to prepare you for the future. For Diane, it led to a rewarding RN career at hospitals and private practice offices along the east coast until her retirement, and for Oz, his next career goal is to be a preceptor for future Pace students.
