Undergraduate Research Initiative
Congratulations to our 2013 Research Showcase Winners!
NYC Showcase
Pleasantville Showcase
Thank you for a wonderful year!
Click here to see Pictures from the showcase!
For over 100 years, research has been a cornerstone of the Pace University educational experience and the growth of the institution over time. Pace houses a world-renowned and accomplished faculty who bring their wealth of knowledge and expertise to our students. The Undergraduate Student-Faculty Research Program, now in its second year, is intended to showcase not only the great research by our faculty, but also by our diverse undergraduate student body. The projects selected this year are from a wide range of academic fields and will be showcased at the end of the 2012-2013 academic year. Indeed we look forward to the results of this year's research as they help us better understand the world around us.
Stephen J. Friedman
Uday P. Sukhatme, Ph.D.
Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
Mark Allen Poisel, Ed.D.
Associate Provost for Student Success
About the Program
Now in its second year, this innovative research mentoring program allows faculty and undergraduate students with similar interests to work together on a research project throughout the academic year. A small stipend is granted to each pair and an end-of-year showcase on each campus recognizes all research initiatives through formal presentations and poster sessions. Two overall winning pairs are awarded funding towards national conference expenses. In 2011-2012, 15 student-faculty pairs worked together on research ranging from the scientific (mercury contamination and enzymes associated with HIV) to the imaginative (pairing horror stories with web-based artwork and Star Trek with history) to sex (Literacy and the Gender Gap), drugs (TB, mycobacteria and vaccination development), and even rock and roll (Bring on the Velvet Revolution: The Politics of Individual Subjectivity in Tom Stoppard's "Rock 'n' Roll"). This year (2012-2013) the program has expanded to 27 student-faculty pairs with research ranging from the health related issues (neurodiversity of obesity, breast cancer, neuromuscular disorders and parasites) to history (parallel teaching design, the socioeconomic history of Honduras, and the underground railroad) to sustainability issues. There are even studies on autism, LGBTQ, Web 2.0, video gaming, and money management.

Arjun Majumdar writes on when is the right time to introduce your kids to the world of trekking.
It is wonderful to get calls from parents wanting to know which trek to take their kids on. Parents who are keen trekkers themselves know the value of the outdoors. Kids learn life's little lessons quickest when they are on an adventure.
Clean the mountains by joining Green Trail batches
As a part of our commitment to keep trekking trails clean, Indiahikes organizes the "Green trail" trek batches. The Green trail batches are special batches formed only to clean up our mountain slopes. The batches run like any other normal groups but with a key difference: trekkers who join this batch volunteer to clean the trail. The entire trek team - from trekkers to guides to helpers pick up litter along the route and bring it down from the mountains.
Arjun Majumdar writes about some of the incredulous happenings in Sikkim trekking.
'Something is terribly wrong at Sikkim. The government, the trekking agencies and the local guides seem hell bent on ruining the trekking world of Sikkim. Read more here...

Latest Documented Trek
Nandikund is a beautiful high altitude lake located at 15748 ft. enroute to Madhyamaheshwar - Kalpeshwar trail. The trail commands a beautiful view of lush green meadows and the snow covered Chaukhamba group of peaks of and Mandani Parbat. It is a lake spread over an area of 1.5 km. This high altitude trek takes you over the high ranges without involving the glaciers or even snow if attempted in autumn.

Latest Documented Trek Diaries
The Darcha–Padum trek through the wilderness of Zanskar provides a rare opportunity to see some breathtaking landscapes, especially at higher altitudes. It generally takes 9-10 days to complete this trek which involves crossing the Shingo La pass (16700 feet). Technically this is called a moderate trek, but, unless you are a seasoned trekker or mountaineer, let me assure you that it is not easy to trek in that rarefied atmosphere. To complete it you will have to go beyond your limits of physical endurance.

Karan : "It is a relatively easy trek through Darma Valley in Eastern Kumaon. The view of the peaks and the entire valley from the base camp is splendid. This region is very close to Tibet to the north and Nepal to east."

Burn bans continue in Snohomish County, King County ban added
January 18, 2013 · 3:03 PM
Due to continuing cold weather and rising air pollution, the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is issuing a Stage 1 burn ban for King County, effective at 4 p.m. on Jan. 18. A Stage 1 burn ban continues for Snohomish County. These bans are in effect until further notice.
"This weekend we're expecting calm and cold conditions to continue throughout the region, which is why we're issuing a Stage 1 burn ban for King County," said Dr. Phil Swartzendruber, agency forecaster. "In neighborhoods where wood-burning is common, air pollution levels could easily reach the 'unhealthy for sensitive groups' category."
"We encourage everyone who doesn't rely on wood heat to use instead their home's cleaner source of heat until weather conditions change."
Clean Air Agency staff follow a protocol set by state law to determine when and where to issue a burn ban, and when to lift a burn ban.
Stage 1 burn ban:
No burning is allowed in fireplaces or uncertified wood stoves. Residents should rely instead on their home's other, cleaner source of heat (such as their furnace or electric baseboard heaters) for a few days until air quality improves, the public health risk diminishes and the ban is cancelled.
No outdoor fires are allowed. This includes recreational fires such as bonfires, campfires and the use of fire pits and chimineas.Burn ban violations are subject to a $1,000 penalty.It is OK to use natural gas, propane, pellet and EPA certified wood stoves or inserts during a Stage 1 burn ban.
The Washington State Department of Health recommends that people who are sensitive to air pollution limit time spent outdoors, especially when exercising. Air pollution can trigger asthma attacks, cause difficulty breathing, and make lung and heart problems worse. Air pollution is especially harmful to people with lung and heart problems, people with diabetes, children, and older adults (over age 65).
The purpose of a burn ban is to reduce the amount of pollution that is creating unhealthy air. Puget Sound Clean Air Agency staff will continue to monitor the situation.

A contract analyst for the State of California takes home the first place prize in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future contest
Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) December 13, 2012
The 3rd Quarter winners of the 29th year of the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest were announced today by Joni Labaqui, the contest Director from Author Services, Inc.
1st Place - Andrea Stewart of California
2nd Place - Marilyn Guttridge of Oregon
3rd Place - Alex Wilson of North Carolina
Marilyn is a student, Andrea is a contract analyst for the State of California and Alex is a comic book writer, actor and recent winner of the Eagle Award in London.
They were chosen from a group of 8 finalists and are awarded cash prizes, a week long intensive workshop, an awards ceremony and are also published in the annual L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future. Andrea, Marilyn and Alex will receive a cash prize for their win this quarter.
A Grand Prize winner is announced at the annual awards ceremony and is selected by another panel of judges for the prize purse of $5,000.00.
Well-known contest judges include multiple Nebula and Hugo Award winners and finalists such as Kevin J. Anderson, Orson Scott Card, Todd McCaffrey, Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, Tim Powers, Robert J. Sawyer, Robert Silverberg, Sean Williams and Dave Wolverton.
"The judges have no idea who wrote the stories they are reading. The name of the author is not included on the manuscript which makes for fair judging. It is one of many reasons the contest is so popular with writers trying to make their mark. They know they have a fair chance," concluded Labaqui.
