- Introduction to AI and Financial Analysis
- Saturday, September 26, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
- NYU Stern Professor Amal Shehata invites you to a workshop on Generative AI and its role in business. We will trace how AI has evolved to this point, unpack what it's doing to the economy and the job market, and consider how you can strengthen your own AI skills. From there it gets practical: we'll learn to work with AI as a thinking partner rather than a search engine, then apply it to real business scenarios as we build our own AI toolkit — from vibe coding to gems, Skills, and Custom GPTs — and look ahead to AI agents that can plan and take action on their own.

Coping with Stress
- Tuesday, December 1, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
- Stress, in some shape or form, is something we all, collectively, experience. Daily stressors (transportation delays, exams, etc.) and/or global stressors (international issues, environmental concerns, racial tensions, political unrest, etc.), can sometimes affect us in more ways than we realize. This workshop, therefore, aims to equip you with a more holistic view of stress to, importantly, strengthen how you understand, relate to, and proactively manage stressors in your life.
