    What Zohran Mamdani's hold on young NYC voters means for 2026 races
    Lohud
    Laura Tamman, a political science professor who teaches at Pace University's Manhattan campus, could see firsthand before the election how Mamdani was motivating young people, just from the number of students in her class who were volunteering for his campaign. Mobilizing people from a generation that tends to distrust government is a tough job, but especially so for city-level elections, Tamman said. Mamdani broke through that barrier by delivering concrete proposals that were easy to understand and put into pithy phrases, like freeze the rent or free buses.

    Op-ed | Donald Trump’s uglification of America
    amNewYork
    In his latest op-ed “Donald Trump’s uglification of America,” legal scholar Bennett L. Gershman argues that what we’re witnessing is more than mere political theatrics.

    Prestige TV Is Over: Why Everyone Is Obsessed With ‘the Worst Show Ever’
    Newsweek
    Heather Hayes, clinical assistant professor of media and communications at Pace University, attributed the show’s virality to the rise of "hate-watching." She told Newsweek: "Critically 'bad' shows still go viral and dominate streaming platforms due to a phenomenon known as "hate-watching," where viewers find joy in mocking content. "Since Kim Kardashian has always been a polarizing figure, her haters are quick to criticize her professional endeavors beyond reality television, such as acting in a Ryan Murphy legal drama alongside Hollywood legends. They’re tuning in to confirm their doubts about Kardashian’s acting chops while simultaneously inflating their own superiority complexes."

    Pace Student Water Walk Dramatized the Plight of the World’s Water-Deprived

    More than 100 Pace University students staged a one-mile walk carrying water-filled buckets on their heads to bring attention to people in the developing world who must walk miles to carry water home for their families. The event was held on the Pleasantville campus in support of United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal Six — "Ensure access to water and sanitation for all.” It was organized by the Gale Epstein Center, and the Millennium Fellows of Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems

    “Clean drinking water is a fundamental human right,” said Noor Ul Huda, a Pace computer science major. “It is well-known that water scarcity is having a devastating impact on communities in places like Pakistan, my home country, where mothers and children are laboring for miles every day just so their families have something to drink.”

    Silas Gonzalez, Pleasantville campus director of the Millennium Fellows, also a computer science major, said, “Our arms ached during the Water Walk, but that was a miniscule slice of the daily lives of those who risk health and safety in the search for water.”

    Lizi Imedashvili, project manager for Seidenberg’s Gale Epstein Center and an event organizer, praised the student walkers, “Some students insisted on traveling the campus circuit twice, to get closer to the experience of those who are forced into this inhumane practice every day. The Water Walk was a reminder to us all that even in the 21st century there are places on the planet where universal rights still remain a personal privilege.”
