Karl Eshwer ŮٱƵ21 has worn many hats since he arrived at Pace. HeŮٱƵs the president of both the Alpha Lambda Delta National Honors Society and Pace Computing Society, worked as an Orientation Leader last summer, and even participated in the NYC Design Factory and Mock Trial. ŮٱƵHolding these positions allowed me to seek out connections and make a meaningful impact on how my peers viewed and responded to their experiences on campus,ŮٱƵ Karl explained. ŮٱƵBeing in a position to provide this value to the next generation of the Pace Community brings me fulfillment of the highest magnitude and is my ultimate motivation!ŮٱƵ
ItŮٱƵs no wonder he was inspired by a great leader and motivated mind when deciding to major in computer science with a minor in economics. ŮٱƵSeeing the heights [Elon] Musk has been achieving over the past decade (no pun intended) has had a sizable impact on me steering down this path,ŮٱƵ he told us. As for the economics side of it, the choice seemed only natural to Karl. ŮٱƵIn the current landscape of technological innovation, the economics behind any proposed solution has a profound effect on the introduction and eventual growth of the technology,ŮٱƵ he said. ŮٱƵI found it imperative to have a reasonable understanding of the field.ŮٱƵ
Of all his Pace experiences, though, Karl pointed to his participation in Mock Trial as ŮٱƵone of the crowning jewelsŮٱƵ that really had a profound effect on himŮٱƵand even solidified his decision to come to Pace in the first place. ŮٱƵI felt like there was one element missing during the transition and I wasnŮٱƵt particularly able to point my finger at it,ŮٱƵ Karl said of his first year on campus. That is, until he auditioned for Mock Trial. ŮٱƵ[I] realized that was what was missing: a team.ŮٱƵ
Familiarizing himself with all the legal jargon was ŮٱƵan uphill battle,ŮٱƵ he continued, but ultimately well worth the effort. ŮٱƵNow that [IŮٱƵm] familiar with Mock TrialŮٱƵs many facets, I have come to enjoy it much more from a professional standpoint.ŮٱƵ
Currently, Karl is working as a product manager for uSTADIUM, a centralized platform for sports fans the world over. ŮٱƵHaving mainly worked on the product aspect of the platform, I am most proud of it for the paradigm it is trying to shift in the sports market as well as for the progress the team has made in terms of technology and growth,ŮٱƵ Karl explained. Talk about serious dedication to innovation!
WeŮٱƵre thrilled to see what Karl comes up with next, and especially, what his newest project will innovate as he moves forward in his career.
Earlier in the Spring 2025 semester, students from ŮٱƵŮٱƵs Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems joined forces with peers from Parsons School of Design for an unforgettable game jam experience themed around scientific phenomena.
At ŮٱƵ, Go-Getters donŮٱƵt just learnŮٱƵthey lead. And Riya Golani (MS in Computer Science ŮٱƵ25) is no exception. As a masterŮٱƵs student at the Seidenberg School, sheŮٱƵs turning challenges into milestones, passion into purpose, and a dream of NYC into a career at Amazon.
On April 8, 2025, the 11th Annual Disability Film Festival was held at ŮٱƵ, welcoming guests, students, and members of the broader New York City community to the UniversityŮٱƵs downtown campus. This yearŮٱƵs festival continued its tradition of celebrating the lived experiences of people with disabilities in film.
