The increasing synergy between healthcare and machine learning technologies. Understanding how big data is revolutionizing the business world. The relationship between environmental sustainability and the financial markets. These are just a few of many interdisciplinary realms that are increasingly working in concert in the 21st century—something that Pace faculty is committed to exploring through research and scholarship, while preparing students for the challenges ahead.
On April 7, Pace’s Office of Research and Graduate Education invites you to The Future of Pace, an interdisciplinary online conference featuring panel discussions and faculty research presentations, as well as a keynote address by Dan Porterfield, president and CEO of the Aspen Institute, a global nonprofit organization committed to realizing a free, just, and equitable society.
The primary goal of the conference is to bring together faculty to help Pace address its future needs through scholarship and academic programs. The conference also hopes to encourage greater interdisciplinary cooperation among faculty with overlapping interests and use Pace’s Strategic Plan as a guideline to help foster innovative scholarship.

“The new Strategic Plan has identified four areas of academic opportunity—technology and business, health, wellness, and sciences, sustainability and justice, and arts, humanities—for our faculty to develop new scholarly programs," said Associate Provost for Research Avrom Caplan, PhD. "The conference is arranged around those themes with the goal of getting faculty to talk about their work among their peers.”
Pace has been awarded a $300K Teagle Foundation grant to launch The City and the Sea, a new fellowship for students who aspire to serve the people of NYC by working in government or nonprofit organizations. Through coursework pairing a transformative text humanities education with hands-on internships, fellows will dive into the life of New York Harbor and the future of our city.
When it comes to unwinding, gaming is often at the top of the list of go-to methods–but for Pace students, especially Seidenberg technology students, it’s a lifestyle. When a group of gaming and computer science students attended the Games for Change Festival, there was plenty to get excited about.
Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems Professor Namchul Shin has co-authored a new book published by Oxford University Press that offers a timely, forward-looking exploration of institutional collaboration in the 21st century.
