When individual members of an organization thrive, the organization does, too. The common thread in the Office of Stern Life is to create the conditions where each one of us can thrive. Putting it another way, we help advance the mission of our community of students, staff, faculty, and alumni. Organizations thrive when their people are fully participating, actively listening, genuinely collaborating and creatively problem solving. Organizations that achieve this environment benefit from full participation of its members, better decision making, and steady innovation. These organizations advance the mission better, faster and with more creativity and energy. People in this sort of organization are generally happier, goals are achieved and talent is retained. In short, that’s our goal in Stern Life: to help Stern advance its mission better, faster, and more creatively. We offer a year-round series of educational, professional development, cultural, and community-wide events and we invite you to be a part of it. Check out our calendar!
Connect, Collaborate, Find Joy
In the spirit of developing an even stronger Stern community, we invite all faculty and staff to participate in our community groups and committees. Some of our groups are grounded in specific identities and shared experiences, yet they are open and welcoming to everyone. They provide opportunities to join, learn, collaborate, build new relationships, and grow together as colleagues.
Read "A Guardian and a Thief" by Megha Majumdar
Join our faculty, staff, students, and alumni for our 20th Book Club as we read A Guardian and a Thief by Megha Majumdar, Oprah’s October 2025 Book Club selection. Set in a near-future Kolkata shaped by climate change and scarcity, this gripping novel follows two families whose lives collide through an act of theft that challenges ideas of morality, privilege, and belonging.
