“Taste of the Market” connects nutrition and dietetics students with the Pleasantville community to promote seasonal eating and healthy habits

Graduate students from Pace University’s Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics program, part of the College of Health Professions, will partner with the Pleasantville Farmers Market starting this Saturday, September 20, for a featured event in the annual Taste of the Market series.

As part of this Saturday’s event, students and faculty will host an apple tasting experience where shoppers can sample up to six different varieties of locally harvested apples while learning about their nutritional benefits and ideal culinary uses. Nutrition Professor Andrea Polvere, MS, RDN, CDN, and graduate student Emily Bruzzese will guide the tasting and educational engagement.

“All of our Taste of the Market events present dynamic opportunities for students to hone their patient-facing skills while simultaneously learning the importance of creating meaningful relationships within the community,” said Polvere.

The students engage directly with shoppers who bring a range of concerns, from common food buyer questions—such as what “organic” really means—to everyday culinary nutrition topics like how heat affects a nutrient's ability to be absorbed.

Each Taste of the Market event highlights a seasonal produce item, selected through early-year planning with Market Director Harris Kaye. Activities are designed to educate and engage shoppers through hands-on interaction, simple recipes, and facts about healthful components like fiber, antioxidants, and the advantages of eating in-season.

Polvere works alongside Kaye early each year to pinpoint which produce is best highlight at each event by utilizing general seasonality windows. Every Taste of the Market event provides either very simple recipes or tasting varieties of the highlighted produce, while focusing on sharing nutritional facts with shoppers, typically fiber, antioxidants, and the benefits of eating in-season.

“It’s an opportunity to engage meaningfully with the public, learn from their perspectives, and see firsthand how nutrition education can foster healthier habits within a community,” said Bruzzese, the graduate student. “This event is more than just sharing food—it’s a valuable learning opportunity. We’re able to practice translating what we learn in the classroom into real-world conversations, building the communication and counseling skills that will be critical in our future careers as nutrition professionals.”

Students from the program will return to the Market on Saturday, October 4, to support the Annual Apple Pie Contest and continue sharing seasonal nutrition tips and tastings with shoppers.

About Pleasantville Farmers Market: The Pleasantville Farmers Market

The largest year-round farmers market in Westchester and has been voted Best of Westchester by readers of Westchester Magazine eleven years in a row (2014–2024). Located off Bedford Road in the heart of a beautiful historic walking village, the Market boasts over 60 vendors—and hosts a diverse variety of fresh greens, meats, dairy items, root crops, apples, prepared foods, and more. The Market is run by Foodchester, Inc., a volunteer-based not-for-profit organized by Pleasantville residents in 2012.

For the fourth consecutive year, the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University partnered with the Westchester County Association (WCA) to host its Profit & Purpose Sustainable Business Conference, a premier forum designed to advance a more climate centric and sustainable future in Westchester and beyond. This year’s conference also debuted the inaugural Profit & Purpose Actionable Solutions Competition, spotlighting student-driven solutions to real-world sustainability challenges. Held Friday, September 12, 2025 on the Pace Haub Law campus, the conference drew more than 100 changemakers and leaders from business, government, nonprofits, and academia to explore practical strategies for sustainable impact.

The half-day conference opened with remarks from Horace E. Anderson, Jr., Dean of Pace Haub Law, Michael N. Romita, WCA President and CEO, and Professor Josh Galperin, Faculty Director of the Law School’s Sustainable Business Law Hub. Justin E. Driscoll, President and CEO of the New York Power Authority, delivered the keynote address, underscoring New York’s leadership in clean energy and the critical importance of cross-sector collaboration in meeting climate goals.

“Dean Anderson, Professor Galperin, and their team at Pace Haub Law understand the critical intersection of policy and business. The WCA is fortunate to have them as our partners in putting on Westchester’s sustainable business conference each year,” said Michael N. Romita. “With the federal government’s sudden pivot away from sustainability concepts and concern for the environment, getting state and local government working together with the private sector is even more important.

“Our partnership with the Westchester County Association reflects a shared mission to educate and inspire the next generation of sustainable business leaders and to invest in the ideas and innovations that will strengthen our region’s resilience and prosperity,” added Dean Anderson.

This year’s Sustainable Business Conference featured four dynamic panel discussions that examined urgent issues at the intersection of policy, business strategy, and public health. Conversations ranged from how state and local governments are filling gaps in environmental policy when federal action lags, to strategies for navigating sustainability challenges in a changing political and investor climate, and the essential links between climate change and healthcare—highlighted by insights from major health systems in the region.

A highlight of the 2025 conference was the launch of the Profit & Purpose Actionable Solutions Competition, a special addition to this year’s conference designed to showcase student-driven solutions for real-world sustainability challenges. Following submissions from more than ten Pace Haub Law students, judges selected as finalists second-year SJD student Ayman Irfan, 2L Alexa Williamson, and Lauren Lynam, in her final year of Pace’s joint-degree program with the Yale School of the Environment. They presented their original proposals before conference attendees and an expert panel of judges including Professor Josh Galperin, Michael Romita, Angela Iraldi of Skanska USA Building, Mohita Sinha of the Sustainability Investment Leadership Council Education Committee, Bobbi Scroggin of J.P. Morgan Chase, and Pace Haub Law alumnus Paul Adler ’88, Esq., SIOR of Rand Commercial.

Ayman Irfan received the inaugural Profit & Purpose Action Award for her proposal, “Private Environmental Governance and the Crisis of Underwater Noise.” Her presentation highlighted the hidden threat of ocean noise pollution to marine species and ecosystems. Her proposal outlined critical legal gaps and introduced an innovative “Blue Quiet Certification” system. This third-party auditing framework would incentivize vessels to reduce noise more swiftly than traditional regulatory approaches.

“Sustainable business law is an emerging field that demands cutting-edge, real-world solutions. Students in the Pace | Haub Environment Law Program consistently rise to that challenge, which is why we wanted to highlight their skills and insight for leaders in the field” said Professor Galperin. “The caliber of talent we saw in this inaugural Profit & Purpose Actionable Solutions Competition—creative, driven, and pragmatic—shows how the next generation of legal leaders are poised to shape the path toward sustainability.”

The conference concluded with a networking reception, providing attendees with opportunities to build partnerships and plant the seeds for collaborative action across industries.

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

When I was researching colleges, I knew I wanted to attend a school with a strong marketing program and a reputable business school—Pace checked both of those boxes. After touring the campus, I discovered even more of what the University had to offer, including an incredible location, a stellar Career Services department, and a strong alumni network. As someone who wanted to be involved on campus and pursue a career in marketing, I was drawn to many of Pace’s attributes and knew it would be a great fit.

How have clubs on campus helped enrich your student?

I’ve been involved with the American Marketing Association (AMA) since I first started at Pace, and the experience has truly been transformative. I began as a general member, then joined the e-board as the Digital Marketing Coordinator, which reinforced my belief that marketing was the right path for me. From there, I served as Vice President, and I currently hold the role of President. Through AMA, I’ve hosted events, executed social media campaigns, connected with industry professionals, and helped lead our chapter to being ranked among the top 10 in the world. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities AMA has provided and excited to continue leading the organization to bring new experiences to students on campus.

How has your role as President of the American Marketing Association shaped your leadership and career goals?

My role as President of the American Marketing Association has strengthened my skills in leadership, communication, and project management. In this position, I’m responsible for driving recruitment, marketing strategy, and event operations, as well as serving as the face of the organization to the Pace Community and AMA’s partners. I lead a team of 10 dedicated students and enjoy working with them to bring events to life both on and off campus. Being President has deepened my involvement in the marketing industry and helped me further develop the skills needed to succeed in it.

What inspired your interest in your major, and how have you pursued that passion at Pace?

When I was reading through the different marketing majors at Pace and saw the description for sports marketing, I was sold. I remember learning that students in the program had interned with some of New York’s professional sports teams, and from that moment, I knew I wanted that to be me. In my second year at Pace, I interned with Madison Square Garden Sports after attending the company’s annual on-campus info session. I’m very grateful the University provides this event for students—it led to an incredible season working in marketing for the Knicks and Rangers. I’ve also attended sports events organized by Dr. G. and Professor Klein, which helped me connect with employees from a wide range of companies.

How has the Pforzheimer Honors College benefitted you?

The Pforzheimer Honors College has supported me since before my first day at Pace. I’ve found mentors who have guided me in my career journey and helped me craft a schedule that allows me to graduate early. Most of all, I’m thankful to have an advisor and a community that believes in me, celebrates my successes, and pushes me to be my very best.

What has been your favorite opportunity at Pace?

My favorite opportunity at Pace has been attending the International Collegiate Conference (ICC) in New Orleans with AMA, which I’ve done twice. I really enjoyed competing in marketing simulations, meeting students from around the world, and experiencing it all with my best friends from Pace. ICC holds some of my favorite smiles, memories, and beignets from my time at the University so far.

Do you have any advice for other Lubin students?

Get to know your professors! They’re incredibly knowledgeable about the subjects they teach, and they can often help you make valuable connections in the industry. That’s something I encourage all students to take advantage of.

To me, #LubinLife represents the strength and support of the Lubin community.

What does #LubinLife mean to you?

To me, #LubinLife represents the strength and support of the Lubin community. During my time at Pace, I’ve met professors who helped me form connections, administrative staff who made it possible for me to receive funding for conferences, and peers who continually inspire me to grow. I truly value my friendships within Lubin and am grateful for the opportunities to support one another throughout our college journeys.

Pace University’s Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems continues to expand its growing focus on artificial intelligence and emerging technologies with the addition of two dynamic new faculty members. Hyunkyung Lee, PhD, brings deep insight into online user behavior, digital strategy, and the economics of information systems, while Sara Falcone, PhD, bridges computer science, robotics, and cognitive science with research on embodiment and immersive systems. Together, our newest experts represent the breadth of Seidenberg’s interdisciplinary approach to technology and Pace’s commitment to preparing students for a rapidly evolving digital future.

We caught up with Professors Lee and Falcone to learn more about their backgrounds, research, and what excites them most about joining the Pace community.

Image

What brought you to Pace—and what’s your background in computer science?

Hyunkyung Lee:

I’m joining Pace from Emory University, where I completed my PhD in Information Systems. I was drawn to Pace especially by the welcoming community, in addition to the exceptional faculty and nice environment. My expertise includes Economics of Information Systems, Ad-blocking Technologies, Online User Behavior, and Digital Strategy. My methodological approach is characterized by the rigorous application of empirical methods—econometrics, survival analysis, experimental design—and I also incorporate machine learning paradigms when appropriate.

Sara Falcone:

I’m originally from Napoli, Italy (the city of pizza!). I have a multidisciplinary background in computer science, robotics, and cognitive science with a focus on human–computer and human–robot interactions. Before joining Pace, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Vassar College, where I taught and led research on human-centered robotics and immersive technologies. I was drawn to Seidenberg for its applied, interdisciplinary culture and strong ties to New York City’s tech scene—an ideal setting for my work on telepresence, haptics, and wearable/VR interfaces.

Image

How would you describe your research?

Lee:

My primary research objective is to deepen our understanding of online user behaviors and the strategic challenges companies encounter in adapting to emerging technologies, with the goal of improving the online user experience. Broadly, I aim to develop a rigorous and integrated understanding of how new technologies impact firm strategy and user experience.

Falcone:

My expertise sits at the intersection of human-centered robotics, teleoperation, and immersive systems (VR/AR). I study how people experience control, agency, and embodiment when interacting with remote or augmented systems, and how that experience impacts performance and learning. Methodologically, my work blends user-centered design with experimental evaluation, using tools like motion capture, haptic gloves, and exoskeletons.

What are you currently working on that you're excited about?

Lee:

My current research has been inspired by the intricate dynamics of ad-blocking technologies within the digital advertising ecosystem. I explore why people adopt ad blockers and what that means for different stakeholders, from consumers to advertisers and platforms. I plan to broaden my work by further exploring digital strategies in response to ad-blocking technologies and understanding the mechanisms behind the behaviors of users in the advertising ecosystem. Additionally, I will investigate online user behaviors in other related areas of interest!

Falcone:

I’m very enthusiastic about all my research! One project I’m especially excited about is on kinesthetic learning with wearables: we’re piloting studies that pair motion-capture suits with haptic gloves and exoskeletons to test how physical cues in VR can speed up skill acquisition. We're measuring both embodiment (like agency and cross-modal congruency) and real task performance. I’m also active in international research communities: this fall I’ll be speaking at major conferences in China and Hawaii, where I’ll be presenting work on how humans experience embodiment in teleoperation and a new framework for human–technology interaction in the future workplace. I also recently co-organized the IEEE Telepresence 2025 conference in the Netherlands, where I helped lead special sessions connecting academia and industry.

What courses are you teaching this year?

Lee:

I’m teaching cybersecurity courses, including CYB 201 (Intro to Cybersecurity for undergraduates), CIT 251 (Computer Security Overview), and CYB 611 (Intro to Cybersecurity for graduate students). These courses provide an overview of information assurance, covering topics in computer, information, and network security.

Falcone:

I’m teaching CS 242 (Algorithms and Computing Theory) for undergraduates, and CS 632Q (Introduction to Natural Language Processing) for graduate students.

Welcome to the Pace community!

On September 11, 2025, the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University’s Sustainable Business Law Hub held the third annual private environmental governance and sustainable business law scholarly workshop. The half-day lightning workshop, co-sponsored by Vanderbilt Law School’s Private Climate Governance Lab, included an impressive gathering of environmentally focused scholars who spent the day workshopping new scholarship. Josh Galperin, Associate Professor of Law and Faculty Director of Pace Haub Law’s Sustainable Business Law Hub organized this year’s workshop.

“The sustainable business law and private governance workshop tackled new scholarship from nine scholars in the field,” said Professor Galperin, who in addition to developing the workshop, moderated it. “The goal is to bring together scholars to share new research and scholarship, and bounce ideas around to help improve that work. Sustainable business law is key to a healthier environmental future and scholarly workshops like this are essential forums for thoughtful, inspirational, and impactful change to that end.”

Scholars from eight different institutions participated in this year’s workshop, along with Pace Haub Law alumni, faculty, staff, and Sustainable Business Law Hub Student Scholars. Inclusion of current students in the event sets it apart from the traditional scholarly workshop but also injects innovative new ideas that can make significant contributions. “This workshop is exemplary of the type of collaborative effort and thought-sharing that sets Pace Haub Law apart and is necessary to support a healthy environmental future,” said Professor Galperin. “Our Sustainable Business Law Hub, along with workshops like this, does not just focus on theory, but on practice and real-life impact.”

As with years past, the workshop came the day before the 'Profit & Purpose' Sustainable Business Conference, which, Pace Haub Law co-hosts each year with the Westchester County Association (WCA). Business, nonprofit, and government leaders attend the ‘Profit & Purpose’ Conference, which focuses on cutting-edge issues in sustainability, like local and state leadership in the face of federal retrenchment and connection between climate change and healthcare. Numerous sustainable business workshop attendees also attended the Conference, capitalizing on the momentum of sustainability forward thought-sharing.

The first annual private environmental governance and sustainable business law scholarly workshop was held in spring 2023 in partnership with Vanderbilt Law School. Pace Haub Law’s Sustainable Business Law Hub serves as an incubator space, student-training program, research endeavor, and think tank devoted to addressing global sustainability challenges through policy and research projects, relationships with the business community, and capacity building in private environmental governance.

Healthcare is often viewed through a narrow lens—the doctor’s visit, the prescription, the procedure. But Associate Professor of Psychology Christopher Godfrey, PhD, on Pace University’s New York City campus, challenges this limited perspective. For him, healthcare is not just a sterile clinical exchange between patient and provider. His research challenges providers to consider a patient’s lived history, advocating for communication, trust, and patient empowerment as essential to equitable and effective care.

“Patients carry a lifetime of experiences that shape how they interact with providers, how they trust institutions, and how they make decisions,” he said.

A traditional deficiency has also existed on the study of healthcare system experiences of marginalized groups, such as Black and brown people, economically disadvantaged families, LGBTQ+ individuals, women, older adults, and those living with HIV/AIDS.

Godfrey and his student research team at Pace, however, want to change that.

The CUHER Lab at Pace

As director of the Center for Urban Health and Education Research Lab (CUHER) at Pace, housed in the Psychology department, he and his student colleagues work with communities and community-based organizations on questions of how medically disenfranchised populations make decisions about their health. Specifically, Godfrey, who teaches undergraduate students as well as directs Pace’s PhD program in Clinical Psychology – Health Care Emphasis, has been mapping patients’ self-reported experiences onto physiological data—lifting the voices of patients often left unheard.

“It’s validating,” he said, “because it means these conversations belong in primary care, not just in a specialist’s office after something has gone wrong.”

Sexual Health and Silence in Primary Care

One of Godfrey’s recent projects takes on a subject often neglected in medical settings: sexual health in primary care. According to him, these conversations are often reduced to risk factors, avoiding discussions on sexual behavior itself, such as pleasure, discomfort, or injury that are central to health. Another stream of his research examines how lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals navigate primary care.

“Sometimes it’s full disclosure, sometimes it’s partial, sometimes it’s silence. What matters is that people are constantly evaluating—is this someone I can trust with this part of myself?” Godfrey said.

According to him, these nuanced strategies reflect patient resilience and problem-solving within an imperfect system that doesn’t always meet their needs.

It Takes a Family

Godfrey, who also has a private clinical practice, has also studied healthcare workers’ COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemic mental health and health-risk perceptions and discovered how family plays a central role in health navigation.

Godfrey and his research colleagues found that what sustained frontline workers was community and family support more than institutional or civic recognition, challenging assumptions about what sustains resilience.

He also identified what he calls “medical families”—households with multiple health workers, who shared a unique culture of resilience.

“We talk about military families. Well, there are medical families too. They support each other in ways outsiders can’t,” he said.

Improving the Conundrum of Communication

At the heart of Godfrey’s work is communication.

Whether between patients and doctors, families and communities, or researchers and providers, effective communication determines outcomes. And for those who enter medical appointments unprepared, without the privilege of research or advocacy, he sees an urgent need for support.

Quipping at his own behavior as a patient—sending journal articles to his physician before a visit—and describing himself as “a provider’s nightmare,” he said, ”Not everyone has the time, access, or background to do that research. My heart goes out to them.”

It’s why he envisions new ways of supporting patients—from teaching communication skills to creating advocates who can accompany vulnerable populations.

The Bigger Picture

Godfrey’s message is clear: health care is not simply delivered; it is lived. It is shaped by memory, culture, trust, and community. And until systems begin listening to the voices of those who live it—patients and providers alike—the system will remain incomplete.

Through both his work at Pace’s CUHER lab and in private practice, he envisions a healthcare system that not only listens to patients but empowers them.

“You don’t have a healthcare system without people,” he said. “And their voices have to be at the center.”
