Stern is a founding member school of this NYU-wide initiative, directed by the provost’s office. CCL is a free, one-of-a-kind, intensive summer program designed to empower middle- and high-school students from New York City area schools to aspire to, prepare for, and achieve academic postsecondary, and career success.

New York University is a University Partner of the PhD Project, a national organization which supports those in historically underrepresented groups in pursuing PhDs in business disciplines. Stern participates in events and programs throughout the year, including The PhD Project’s annual conference.

The Provost’s Office created this initiative to attract and support top-notch scholars from diverse backgrounds who are ideally on track to join the faculties of the world’s leading universities, hosted at schools across NYU, including Stern. Postdoctoral fellows spend two years at Stern, during which they are mentored by and work with some of our leading faculty.

Stern is a gold sponsor and active participant in The Tenure Project, which is a multi-school initiative aimed at increasing the number of tenured underrepresented (URM) faculty in US business schools. Modeled after The PhD Project, its strategy is to build community, support research, and create intentional spaces in which URM faculty will flourish.
