The program, with its diverse mix of undergrad majors, means that it's an option for students from both traditional and 'non-traditional' backgrounds. It's the program for you whether you're a consultant with a few years experience, working in finance, or embedded in the arts or nonprofit sectors.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “The entrepreneurial network and infrastructure at NYU Stern has also been a huge boost for the company. We were accepted into the flagship accelerator at NYU Stern, The $300K Entrepreneurs Challenge, which we deferred to participate in to 2021 because of COVID. We were also selected in the Stern Venture Fellowship (SVF) for the summer of 2020. The SVF gives us access to $15,000 in grants to attempt new initiatives and a tremendous amount of exposure. More importantly, the program pairs us with a dream team of coaches who are industry leaders and provides us a structure over 12 weeks that keeps us focused on achieving our milestones while giving us the flexibility to be creative.”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Raghu Sundaram, dean of the Stern School of Business at New York University, added that Trump’s executive order was a 'zero-sum presupposition' that would damage the U.S. economy in ways that will hurt all Americans. 'These restraints,' Sundaram said, 'will restrict innovation, economic recovery, and the potential for economic growth, hurting all Americans.'”

Excerpt from Talking Biz News -- “New York Times reporter Jeanna Smialek, who covers the Federal Reserve Board and the economy, has signed a deal to write a book about the Fed.

Smialek is studying for her master’s in business administration at New York University’s Stern School.”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "’We are creating the premier ecosystem of entrepreneurship education and programs here on the east coast, in the heart of New York City, that fuels the demand for highly inspired ideas with equally high potential for impact,’ says Rangarajan. ‘I am excited by the strides Endless Frontier Labs is making in taking us closer to this vision.
‘We are in one of the world’s greatest technology and entrepreneurship hubs, and we want to bring that to the school. It’s a work in progress, but because of our location we can dive deeply into businesses on many levels, allowing students to engage with them as part of their MBA.’"

On Tuesday, October 20, NYU Stern hosted "In Conversation with Lord Mervyn King featuring Michael Sandel," the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government at Harvard University, on his new book: The Tyranny of Merit:  What's Become of the Common Good? The discussion touched on a number of topics and timely issues, including the dignity of work, meritocracy and economic inequality, and academic life in a global media market

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “Stern has a number of ways to include partners and integrate them into the Stern community. There is a Stern Partners Club, which is housed under our Student Government. The staple Stern Social events on Thursday evenings (now temporarily on hiatus) always invite partners to join, and many of the student organizations host events that are open to partners. For example, the Association of Hispanic and Black Business Students hosts an annual ‘90s party that tops the list of major social events each year for students and their partners.”

On Thursday, October 15, NYU Stern's Center for Global Economy and Business hosted a fireside chat with Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari.

We are pleased to invite the Stern community to a virtual event series featuring conversations with distinguished leaders about the impacts of COVID-19 on their businesses and industries. We hope you will join us for the upcoming conversation with George Barrett (MBA '88), former CEO and Chairman of Cardinal Health, and Dean Raghu Sundaram.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "DI issues and racial justice in particular are not local but they are global issues, and as global business schools, even as we train students for leadership in a more globalized world, decisions have to be an integral part of the education part of the reasons that Francesca articulated so well. One small example is our most recent effort at Stern. Every single entering student in our undergraduate program, MBA program, and executive programs all take the Intercultural Development Inventory assessment to gauge cultural competence, and every student has assigned a coach to interpret their assessment, and to provide a plan for growth. I think this is almost an essential part of creating better leaders for tomorrow."

Excerpt from Fast Casual -- “One fast casual chain has already found success, however, with its own carbon-labeling initiative. Just Salad, based in New York City, worked with students this summer from the New York University Stern School of Business to post the carbon footprints of its menu items.”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “Anat Lechner was a professor of mine for both years of the program – and the second one was at my choosing! She brings great passion and focus in her teachings especially as it relates to the future economy. She unequivocally challenges us to think about artificial intelligence and its implications for our industries and career paths. Her comprehensive and visually appealing lessons on the evolution of management ideas, thoughts, frameworks, and tools have come in very handy in my work. She’s demonstrated her willingness to help with continuous improvement by sharing weekly ideas and thoughts with us. Her directness and high standards push me to make sure that my own pursuits are not ‘lame,’ and that I’d not be better off just ‘staying at home.’ Eaton J. Kuh, New York University (Stern)”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “I was very fortunate to find Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT), a minority focused organization that provided me with coaching, support, and a big family of friends as I prepared to apply to business school. It was through one of their programs that I connected with NYU Stern, and I immediately felt in love with its community. Stern gave me access to amazing professors, a broad number of experiential classes (which as a career-switcher was very important to me), and a community that truly looks out for one another. When I got that 'congratulations, you are admitted' call, it was a no-brainer, I knew I belonged there.”
