From a young age, James Kennedy ’24, BA in Personality and Social Psychology, had been curious about how things work. But he soon he realized that it was human interactions, emotions, and social environments that fascinated him the most.

Kennedy, who chose Pace because it offered a degree in personality and social psychology as well as the opportunity to conduct undergraduate research—typically found only at the graduate level—is now well on his way to achieving his goals. He is enrolled in a five-year social-personality doctoral program at the University at Buffalo, a feat only the best and brightest could achieve.

As an undergraduate student, he engaged in faculty-student research, which prepared him for this new chapter in his academic life. He also presented his research both outside of and within Pace and at national and international conferences.

His work with Psychology Professor Courtney Gosnell, PhD, is one example.

“Professor Gosnell has taught me how to develop and conduct research as well as empowered me to run my own research projects from idea to publication,” he said. The result was a co-publication of their findings, “Politics, Relationships, and Moral Foundations” in Transactions, 24 (Gosnell, C., & Kennedy, J.* (2023), which Kennedy presented with Gosnell at the British Council on Undergraduate Research (BCUR) and as a plenary speaker at Dyson College’s (at Pace) Society of Fellows seminar.

Professor Gosnell has taught me how to develop and conduct research as well as empowered me to run my own research projects from idea to publication.

Kennedy’s global sharing of his research would continue with another experiential opportunity, at the World Congress on Undergraduate Research (WorldCUR). There, he collaborated with international students on a study exploring the challenges of social media usage that might contribute to social disconnect in Generation Z.

Kennedy said, “These experiences have taught me how to network globally and think critically to present my research to a new and diverse audience.”

Looking ahead, Kennedy aspires to become a professor and combine his passion for research with teaching and mentorship. He also plans to stay in contact with his many mentors at Pace and the research they are engaged in with students.

“They have helped me reach the point I am at today and have shown me that they care about my growth as a student and a researcher, as well as a person. I plan to stay involved and attend future research events to better learn about the research that Pace students are conducting,” he said.

Pace University is revolutionizing the way commuter students connect and travel with the launch of a dedicated rideshare program on the Westchester Campus. Starting at the beginning of the spring 2025 semester, undergraduate and graduate commuter students can explore an efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly way to get to class: carpooling with peers in their local areas through the 511NY Rideshare platform.

Why Join the Rideshare Program?

• Connect with your community: The program not only makes your commute enjoyable but also fosters connections with fellow students, building a stronger Pace Community.
• It will save more than just time: Save time, money, and the planet by carpooling! Sharing the ride to campus means cutting down on fuel, toll, and mileage expenses while shrinking your carbon footprint. It’s a win-win for your wallet and the environment.
• Proven success: Other institutions like Iona College and Fordham University have seen significant benefits from the 511NY Rideshare program, and now, it’s your turn to experience the advantages.

How to Get Started

Visit the Westchester Campus Student Engagement website to learn more about the program and get connected with other carpoolers using the 511NY Rideshare platform. It’s free, easy to use, and offers a greener alternative to solo commuting.

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University is proud to announce that Lauren Roth, an accomplished scholar in health law and business law, will join the faculty as an Associate Professor of Law beginning in Fall 2025. Professor Roth will teach courses in corporations, contracts, and health law while also contributing her expertise and leadership to Haub Law’s Health Law and Policy Certificate program.

Currently an Assistant Professor of Law at Touro Law Center, Professor Roth brings a wealth of academic and professional experience to Haub Law.

Professor Roth’s teaching and research interests include health law, business law, fiduciary law, and employee benefits. She is a frequently published author, and her scholarship focuses on the role of the government and employers in American health and social welfare and how to promote equal access to healthcare. She has a particular interest in the overlap between public and private programs in the delivery of healthcare in the United States. Professor Roth’s research reflects an interdisciplinary approach and utilizes a range of methodological tools, including quantitative methods.

“The Haub Law community is thrilled to welcome Professor Roth, a distinguished academic in the health law field,” said Dean Horace E. Anderson, Jr. “Her research and scholarship involving health, social welfare, and equal access to healthcare will contribute greatly to Haub Law’s interdisciplinary approach to the law. Our students, particularly those pursuing our Health Law and Policy Certificate, will benefit tremendously from her leadership and expertise in the constantly evolving field.” In addition to teaching JD courses at Haub Law, Professor Roth will help guide the school’s Health Law and Policy Certificate programs. A leader in the health law field, Haub Law offers two options for its Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy – one for students enrolled in the School’s JD program and a second option for attorneys and non-attorney professionals looking for a flexible option to advance their careers. Professor Roth’s leadership will serve to bolster these programs even further.

In the last few years, Professor Roth has been selected to present her research at the University of Michigan Law School’s Junior Scholars Conference and Harvard Law School’s Petrie-Flom Center Annual Conference. She was also selected as a Health Law Scholar by the Center for Health Law Studies at Saint Louis University and the American Society of Law, Medicine and Ethics (ASLME). In addition, she will be on research leave during the upcoming Spring 2025 semester because the Commonwealth Fund awarded her a grant to serve as Principal Investigator for a research project titled State Regulation of Medicare Brokers. Through this project, she will explore conflicts of interest for insurance brokers who sell supplemental Medicare plans, looking at how states can protect beneficiaries in light of the expansion of Medicare Advantage plans. In 2025, she will also serve as Secretary of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) Section on Law, Medicine, and Health Care.

“I am excited to join the Haub Law community as an Associate Professor of Law,” shared Professor Roth. “What attracted me to Haub Law are the synergies between its excellent environmental law program and the work I do studying healthcare and public health. The importance of that work will only grow in the coming years. I look forward to building on it in my role at Haub Law.”

Prior to joining Touro Law Center as an Assistant Professor of Law in 2022, Professor Roth was Associate Director of the Lawyering Program at New York University School of Law and an Assistant Professor of Legal Writing at St. John’s University School of Law. She holds a JD from Harvard Law School, a PhD from Columbia University in Political Science, and a BA, summa cum laude, from George Washington University.
