Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “‘Location and the Fertitta Veterans Program made Stern my target,’ Johnny shared with me,  ‘but Stern’s top-tier reputation, international opportunities, focus on EQ+IQ and positive interactions with Sternies throughout the admissions process only reinforced my desire to be part of this community.’”
“For Dan, the Military Veterans Club (MVC) has provided community within Stern from the very beginning. ‘The day before my Stern interview, an MBA student from the club reached out to offer support,’ he told me. Now, it is his turn. As co-presidents, Dan and Johnny have focused on strengthening networking opportunities through club activities. At the same time, they have connected MVC to the executive MBA and part-time programs at Stern to widen the actual network and increased the pipeline by partnering directly with admissions to find the best candidates.”

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- “‘My first exposure to life at Stern was through the school’s Fertitta Veterans Program. The program is designed for US military veterans and active duty students to support their transition to business school. Through the program, all of the veterans take two classes together (accounting and statistics) during the summer before the first year of the MBA program. During the program, we also had the opportunity to visit the offices of companies such as JP Morgan, Boston Consulting Group, and Google. Students who are accepted into the program are eligible to receive the Fertitta Veterans Scholarship. I’m incredibly grateful to alumnus Lorenzo (MBA ’93) and his brother Frank J. Fertitta III for their generous gift which established the program, and their recognition of the value veterans bring to the workforce.’”

We are continuing to support students in their job searches with several more continuing to accept jobs past the three-month mark at pace with the just-in-time hiring picking up in the market now, pushing us past 90% at this moment in time.
'The Class of 2020 is incredibly special to us and has displayed a level of resilience and persistence in a year like no other. We are so proud of all that they have accomplished.'”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- “In his research report, ‘Regulating Social Media: The Fight Over Section 230—and Beyond’, Paul says that Section 230 should be preserved and improved upon, pushing platforms to accept greater responsibility.
He also floats the idea of creating a Digital Regulatory Agency. 
‘There’s a crisis of trust in the major platforms’ ability and willingness to superintend their sites. Creation of a new independent digital oversight authority should be part of the response,’ he explains in the report.”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "'In these unprecedented times, we are especially grateful for Stern’s deep partnerships across industries, fueled by long-standing relationships and a robust alumni community,' Briggs says in a news release announcing the new jobs report. 'These relationships together with the talent and tenacity of our students have resulted in continued strong employment outcomes for our two-year full-time MBAs, including high-quality roles in a range of industries despite the rapidly shifting business landscape during the past several months.'”
