Pace University Art Gallery is pleased to present “Degentrification Archives,” an exhibit by the Chinatown Art Brigade (CAB) that uplifts the stories of people most directly impacted by the gentrification of Manhattan’s Chinatown, with the long-­term goal of protecting and preserving their neighborhood. The exhibit opens on Friday, February 10 with a reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and remains on view through Saturday, March 25.

Pace Wellbeing Fair
Last week Pleasantville Farmers Market was present to support Pace University’s first Wellbeing Fair, meant to spread the word about the University’s wellness initiative to benefit students, faculty, and staff. Marvin Krislov, President of the university also signed the Okanagan Charter, an international charter for health promoting universities and colleges. It was great to celebrate among over 40 groups (including our Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital) the ways we’re all seeking to contribute to various aspects of wellness in our local community.

Hundreds of Pace University students crowded into the Gottesman Room at the Kessel Student Center last week to sample lavender aromatherapy, taste stir-fried organic mushrooms or sign up for on-campus gardening. The event was the school’s inaugural Wellbeing Fair, held at all three Pace campuses to celebrate the adoption of the Okanagan Charter, an international framework for promoting wellness on college campuses globally.

“They’re trying to pretend nothing happened,” said Nicholas Robinson, an environmental law professor at Pace University who is not involved in the case. “They feel they’re entitled to wait until the highest court in New York orders them to behave otherwise,” Robinson added. “Now, that’s kind of bad in the sense that they should want to support the bill of rights. But you can also understand that they want to be protected by a court order that tells them to do it.”

And on a positive note now, Pace University displayed a show of pride while hosting its annual LGBTQ pride hoops night. And this is aiming to encourage inclusion and awareness of LGBTQ participation in sports. Now in the past, the NHL teams have been criticized for backing off their pride nights like this one but tonight's event is a collaboration of Pace University's office of gender and sexuality and Pace Athletics. It featured a double header men's and women's basketball game versus Adelphi University. Athletes hit the court in Goldstein gym here in Pleasantville. This event featured a halftime drag performance by Ms Jade and how did the games end well homecourt took advantage. The Pace women won against the Adelphi 75 to 51 and the men's, Pace beat a Adelphi 77 to 72.

Pace University on Wednesday hosted its annual LGBTQA+ Pride Hoops Night, a collaboration between Pace University's Office of Gender & Sexuality and Pace Athletics. The tradition began in 2016, following the tragedy at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, to make a bold and positive statement to address hate and show that Pace is a welcoming and supportive institution to the LGBTQA+ community.
