Community in Practice

Students explore the everyday choices that shape community and culture.

From day one, MBAs tackle real challenges that spark connection, build trust, and shape how Stern lives its values. Through interactive scenarios, they set shared norms and practice navigating the tensions they’ll encounter in teams and beyond.
