Pace Spotlight: Lori Kanner, Director, Community Relations/Special Projects, Office of the Dean School of Law, and Wellness Enthusiast!
How have you seen your commitment to wellness make a difference in your personal and/or professional life?
My commitment to wellness has created a healthy community for me at work wherein my co-workers and I encourage each other to join in the fitness challenges and go for walks during the walking challenges. During the walks we can relax and catch up as well as discuss work items. This has made me more productive at work and enlarged my network at Pace.
Do you have any advice for someone beginning their exercise and/or wellness journey?
Have a partner or group at work and at home who will keep you motivated. Instead of meeting a colleague or friend for lunch, schedule a walk (especially outside, the benefits of fresh air, sunshine and nature are amazing)!
Do you have any wellness success stories (even small victories!) to share?
Through Pace University’s Wellness program, I was placed in a wellness pod that met weekly via zoom with members of the Pace community on all campuses. This gave me an opportunity to expand my Pace network and when the most recent walking challenge came about, we created a walking team that we all decided would be named “One Pace!” Our goal was to create a walking team from across all campuses and offices at Pace to show we are UNITED and ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!! When employees are physically and mentally healthy, they are more engaged, motivated, and productive. On the walking challenge teams I have been a part of we hold each other accountable, have fun and reap the health benefits of friendship, cardio walking workouts and a wonderful support network throughout the University. For each walking challenge I have tried to entice 1-5 people who did not participate in the challenge before to join and will continue to do so for each upcoming challenge—the more engaged our community is—the better!!

Research and Scholarship
Over the course of three days, the Environmental Law Collaborative (ELC) convened in Briarcliff Manor, New York to discuss “Blue Sky Thinking in a Red Sky World.” The ELC comprises a rotating group of law professors who assemble every other year to think, discuss, and write on an important and intriguing theme in environmental law. This year, the group focused on how to think optimistically and proactively about environmental protection when so much is going so quickly in the opposite direction.
