From Professionals to Profs
Jay Duckworth calls it the 男女操逼视频软件済olden thread男女操逼视频软件 of education男女操逼视频软件攖he invisible, continuous links of knowledge that bond students to their professional ancestors.
男女操逼视频软件淔or people in theater, the golden thread goes all the way back to Thespis, the first actor who ever stepped out onto a stage, in ancient Greece,男女操逼视频软件 said Duckworth, an associate clinical professor of theater at 男女操逼视频软件男女操逼视频软件檚 Sands College of Performing Arts.
男女操逼视频软件淭hat thread goes through all of us, right down to my students,男女操逼视频软件 he said.
Each year, Pace recruits some of the world男女操逼视频软件檚 greatest educators男女操逼视频软件攑ractitioners like Duckworth男女操逼视频软件攖o join the University男女操逼视频软件檚 full-time faculty. With authority and unrivaled expertise, Pace男女操逼视频软件檚 professors help students tie their own threads to careers in health care, humanities, law, business, performing arts, education, and technology.
As Pace男女操逼视频软件檚 Spring 2025 semester approaches, seven of the University男女操逼视频软件檚 newest full-time faculty, experts who男女操逼视频软件檝e reached the pinnacles of their professions, share what motivates them, and how they男女操逼视频软件檙e working to develop the next generation of leaders.
From Practitioners to Professors
Duckworth may be the most influential props designer alive today. A self-defined 男女操逼视频软件,男女操逼视频软件 Duckworth has created for film, television, music videos and more than 65 Broadway shows. He男女操逼视频软件檚 worked with Broadway heavyweights like Hamilton creator Lin Manuel Miranda and actors like Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, and John Lithgow.
And yet, last year, after some 36 years in the props business男女操逼视频软件攕olving design puzzles like an edible arrest warrant (Measure for Measure) and a 13-foot guillotine that never falters (Dedication or the Stuff of Dreams)男女操逼视频软件he left it behind to become a full-time Pace professor.
男女操逼视频软件淚've worked on huge shows and with incredible people, but during the pandemic I decided that I wanted to start teaching full time,男女操逼视频软件 he said. 男女操逼视频软件淚 was taught that the price you pay for living in a good community is community service, so it was important that I give back."
Like many of his colleagues, lived experience underpins Duckworth男女操逼视频软件檚 pedagogy. His father was a construction worker (男女操逼视频软件淗e taught me how to build男女操逼视频软件), his mother an artist (男女操逼视频软件淚 learned about colors from her男女操逼视频软件). But the golden thread that pulled him in was sewn by a former monk-turned props virtuoso. 男女操逼视频软件淒uring a carpentry job at George Street Playhouse, the prop master said to me, 男女操逼视频软件業f you ever want to stop building boxes男女操逼视频软件攚hich is all sets really are男女操逼视频软件攁nd use your talent, I can teach you.男女操逼视频软件櫮信俦剖悠等砑䴘
The offer 男女操逼视频软件渟et me on the road to becoming a prop master myself,男女操逼视频软件 Duckworth said.
"When a student comes with passion for the arts, I can help them harness it so that they can become the best at whatever they want to be.男女操逼视频软件
That transaction, almost a spiritual connection to the work, is what Duckworth hopes to transfer to his students. 男女操逼视频软件淚 can teach anybody to build. What I can't teach is passion,男女操逼视频软件 he said. 男女操逼视频软件淏ut when a student comes with passion for the arts, I can help them harness it so that they can become the best at whatever they want to be.男女操逼视频软件
Like Duckworth, Professor , a clinical associate professor and Writer-in-Residence at Pace男女操逼视频软件檚 Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, is a visionary in his field. But Defoe男女操逼视频软件檚 medium is sentient, and his outputs are new communities committed to what he calls 男女操逼视频软件渞adical acceptance and radical care.男女操逼视频软件

男女操逼视频软件淭o me, building community relates to the concept of decolonizing, moving things into the center that have been historically invisible or forgotten,男女操逼视频软件 Defoe said. 男女操逼视频软件淎t Pace, I男女操逼视频软件檓 drawing upon a lot of Indigenous philosophies to imagine and create a different kind of future男女操逼视频软件 for our students.
As a writer and interdisciplinary artist, Defoe男女操逼视频软件檚 award-winning work spans a range of genres and forms, from Indigenous activism to environmental justice. He engages a wide range of forms, from Indigenous activism to environmental justice, using dance, music, and the written word to unite people in exploring contemporary challenges through the lens of traditional culture, history, and values.
One such workshop occurred in November 2024, when, for the first time in Pace男女操逼视频软件檚 history, an indigenous group from the Wampanoag Nation joined students, faculty, and staff to mark the National Day of Mourning, an annual demonstration to dispel myths surrounding the Thanksgiving story in the United States. In a university setting, especially one in New York City, such an event brings attention to Indigenous voices and practices that are often overlooked or misunderstood. This blending of academic space with cultural practice is rare and reflects Pace's growing emphasis on inclusivity and cross-cultural understanding.
男女操逼视频软件淗ere we were, having this conversation, removing the chairs in Pace男女操逼视频软件檚 Art Gallery and standing in a circle together to hear Wampanoag traditional music and listen to life lessons,男女操逼视频软件 Defoe said. 男女操逼视频软件淚t was revolutionary.男女操逼视频软件
男女操逼视频软件淔ostering civic engagement and collective actions and bringing people together in new ways男女操逼视频软件攖his is why I男女操逼视频软件檓 here.男女操逼视频软件
Another project Defoe is focused on at Pace is , an experiential humanities research and curriculum initiative to connect Pace男女操逼视频软件檚 students to the stories of the places on which their classrooms sit.
The project男女操逼视频软件檚 objective, said Defoe, is to unite the Pace Community through the exploration of its history. 男女操逼视频软件淔ostering civic engagement and collective actions and bringing people together in new ways男女操逼视频软件攖his is why I男女操逼视频软件檓 here.男女操逼视频软件
An Eye on the Future
For students, what happens at Pace may be second only to what comes after college. Carrieann Sipos, a clinical assistant professor at Pace男女操逼视频软件檚 School of Education, understands this, too.

Whenever Sipos needed to fill an opening at the Ossining school district, in Westchester County, where she worked for 34 years before becoming a full-time professor, she男女操逼视频软件檇 make two piles of resumes on her desk. The first included applicants with degrees from Columbia University, Bank Street College of Education, and Pace.
The second pile? Everyone else.
男女操逼视频软件淧ace students were always among the best hires we made,男女操逼视频软件 said Sipos. 男女操逼视频软件淎nyone graduating from the School of Education was incredibly well prepared.男女操逼视频软件
As a new full-time faculty member, it男女操逼视频软件檚 now her job to ensure that Pace男女操逼视频软件檚 students remain at the top of the stack.
男女操逼视频软件淢y students are ambitious and want to make a difference; I see a lot of my younger self in them,男女操逼视频软件 said Sipos. 男女操逼视频软件淏ut the teachers I train will be up against very different challenges than what I faced. Take diversity. Ossining, when I began teaching, looked very different from the Ossining of today.男女操逼视频软件
Sipos tells her students that to thrive as a modern educator, they must become 男女操逼视频软件渆quity warriors,男女操逼视频软件 committed to embracing diversity in all its forms. She emphasizes the importance of community, student-centered learning, and equity in education.

男女操逼视频软件淭o really know what a child needs in a highly diverse classroom, teachers must have a deep relationship with their students,男女操逼视频软件 she said. 男女操逼视频软件淚t男女操逼视频软件檚 that sense of care I hope to instill in my students at Pace.男女操逼视频软件

Preparing students for the future of work is also what motivates Birgit Elchoueri, a clinical assistant professor at the Lubin School of Business. With more than two decades of experience in global finance, leadership, and strategic management男女操逼视频软件攎ost recently as chief of staff to the CEO at Allianz North America男女操逼视频软件攕he joins the full-time ranks with a focus on helping students prepare for how new technologies, like OpenAI, will affect their careers as future business leaders..

男女操逼视频软件淭eaching business strategy at 男女操逼视频软件 is exciting because of the rich diversity that students bring to the classroom. My students come from all different domains, such as management, general business, marketing, finance and accounting, this diverse knowledge and expertise allows us to create innovative team projects男女操逼视频软件 said Elchoueri. 男女操逼视频软件淭he interesting thing about new technologies and innovations is that they affect everything, from how business is conducted to how we interact with others as global societies.男女操逼视频软件
男女操逼视频软件淭eaching business strategy at 男女操逼视频软件 is exciting because of the rich diversity that students bring to the classroom."
Her teaching philosophy is grounded in a student-centered teaching approach that focuses on integrating theoretical concepts with real-world scenarios into her lesson plans to illustrate the practical and strategic implications of new technology trends. To hammer the point home, Elchoueri plans to introduce new hands-on OpenAI technology assignments in her classes this semester, including one critiquing generative AI男女操逼视频软件檚 outputs.
男女操逼视频软件淢y goal as an educator is to teach my students how to become strong leaders with the ability to analyze strategic and ethical dilemmas," she says. "It is important to embrace new technologies but at the same time business leaders must understand and anticipate potential unintended negative consequences of their innovations.男女操逼视频软件
Learning from the Doers

Several of Pace男女操逼视频软件檚 newest full-time faculty remain professionally active outside the classroom, particularly those in rapidly changing fields.
Rhonda D'Agostino, DNP, a clinical assistant professor at the College of Health Professions, and Camila Bustos, JD, an assistant professor at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law, are among these 男女操逼视频软件減racticing男女操逼视频软件 professors.
男女操逼视频软件淚男女操逼视频软件檒l be working a weekend shift at the hospital, thinking, 男女操逼视频软件楬ey, this is a great case study I can bring to my class next week.男女操逼视频软件櫮信俦剖悠等砑䴘
For D'Agostino, the office is a hospital. After earning her bachelor男女操逼视频软件檚 in nursing from Pace in 2003, and a master男女操逼视频软件檚 in acute care nursing from New York University three years later, she landed a job as a critical care nurse practitioner at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Among her innovations: she built advanced nursing practice teams for critical, rapid response, and sepsis care, and was the inaugural associate medical director for the hospital's critical care center.
Today, on top of a full-time teaching load, D'Agostino works several shifts a month at a medical center near her home in Middletown, New York. The work helps her stay relevant as an educator, she said. 男女操逼视频软件淲hat I did 20 years ago as a nurse is completely different from what I'm doing today.男女操逼视频软件
The arrangement benefits her students, too. 男女操逼视频软件淚男女操逼视频软件檒l be working a weekend shift at the hospital, thinking, 男女操逼视频软件楬ey, this is a great case study I can bring to my class next week.男女操逼视频软件櫮信俦剖悠等砑䴘

Bustos, whose work focuses on human rights, environmental, and climate change law, agrees that staying professionally involved strengthens her teaching.
男女操逼视频软件淚 try to stay connected to these cases. It's important for me professionally, and for my ability to teach effectively.男女操逼视频软件
In 2023, she about global migration and climate change, and presented last year. She also frequently files amicus briefs, expert advice or information presented to courts by non-parties in a case.
男女操逼视频软件淲e recently submitted briefs before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, a regional human rights court for the Americas, which is issuing an advisory opinion on climate change and human rights,男女操逼视频软件 Bustos said. 男女操逼视频软件淚 try to stay connected to these cases. It's important for me professionally, and for my ability to teach effectively.男女操逼视频软件
For other newcomers, like Soheyla Amirian, PhD, an assistant professor at the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems, research is their second career.
Amirian leads the laboratory at Pace, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of faculty, students, and investigators to design, build, validate, and deploy AI algorithms in various real-world applications, including public health, imaging informatics, and AI-powered education.

Prestige Without the Ego
In the , the emblematic faculty member is someone who can 男女操逼视频软件渂alance academic preparation with professional experience to bring a unique dynamic to the classroom.男女操逼视频软件 That男女操逼视频软件檚 true. But to the University男女操逼视频软件檚 newest full-timers, a Pace professor is so much more.
To many of these newcomers, warmth and approachability distinguish the Pace faculty. 男女操逼视频软件淏rilliant and humble,男女操逼视频软件 Bustos said of her colleagues. 男女操逼视频软件淧restigious without ego,男女操逼视频软件 said D'Agostino of hers.

To Jay Duckworth, the props master at Sands, another adjective comes to mind: exceptional.
男女操逼视频软件淎t Pace, you've got teachers who男女操逼视频软件檝e worked with the best of the best in every aspect of their industries, right here, in the city where the future auditions.男女操逼视频软件
