Karl Eshwer ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½21 has worn many hats since he arrived at Pace. HeΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½s 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. ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½Holding 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,ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ Karl explained. ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½Being 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!ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½
ItΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½s no wonder he was inspired by a great leader and motivated mind when deciding to major in computer science with a minor in economics. ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½Seeing 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,ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ he told us. As for the economics side of it, the choice seemed only natural to Karl. ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½In 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,ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ he said. ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½I found it imperative to have a reasonable understanding of the field.ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½
Of all his Pace experiences, though, Karl pointed to his participation in Mock Trial as ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½one of the crowning jewelsΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ that really had a profound effect on himΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½and even solidified his decision to come to Pace in the first place. ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½I felt like there was one element missing during the transition and I wasnΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½t particularly able to point my finger at it,ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ Karl said of his first year on campus. That is, until he auditioned for Mock Trial. ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½[I] realized that was what was missing: a team.ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½
Familiarizing himself with all the legal jargon was ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½an uphill battle,ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ he continued, but ultimately well worth the effort. ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½Now that [IΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½m] familiar with Mock TrialΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½s many facets, I have come to enjoy it much more from a professional standpoint.ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½
Currently, Karl is working as a product manager for uSTADIUM, a centralized platform for sports fans the world over. ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½Having 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,ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ Karl explained. Talk about serious dedication to innovation!
WeΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½re thrilled to see what Karl comes up with next, and especially, what his newest project will innovate as he moves forward in his career.
When it comes to unwinding, gaming is often at the top of the list of go-to methodsΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½but for Pace students, especially Seidenberg technology students, itΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½s a lifestyle. When a group of gaming and computer science students attended the Games for Change Festival, there was plenty to get excited about.
As the Spring 2025 semester wrapped up, students, families, faculty, and staff of ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½s Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems gathered on our NYC and Pleasantville campuses to recognize the Class of 2025 award recipients at our annual Awards Ceremonies.
Students from ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½s Seidenberg School concluded the Spring 2025 semester with an international tripΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½by teaming up with peers from across Europe to take on disinformation through game design.
