What matters more in life: Having the right purpose or knowing how to win? Listen in on May 6 as this question is discussed – and debated – by NYU Stern’s own Suzy Welch, Director of the Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing, and 8x Super Bowl winner Bill Belichick. The two longtime friends created this event exclusively for Stern to celebrate an important event: For Professor Welch, a 3X NYT best-selling author already, the publication of “Becoming You: The Proven Method for Crafting Your Authentic Life and Career” and for Coach Belichick the publication of “The Art of Winning: Lessons from my Life in Football.”

Excerpt from Financial Times — “Sustainability for competitive advantage for undergraduates and MBA students can examine the different perspectives on the return on investment of corporate sustainability and sustainable investing.”

​The NYU Entrepreneurs Challenge at the Stern School of Business is NYU's premier springboard for the university's most promising ventures. Part startup accelerator, part venture competition the Entrepreneurs Challenge is a 5-month long program that takes NYU ventures further, faster.

​This year, more than 100 students and alumni from 19 schools and divisions across NYU’s global campuses entered to compete for over $225,000 in prizes and pro bono startup services. Over the past eight months, these teams have engaged in how-to workshops and one-on-one coaching – all in the hopes of taking their ventures to the next level.

​On May 2, the finalist teams will pitch off for a chance to win the grand prize for each of their perspective tracks.

Excerpt from Poets&Quants — "Coming back to school, I knew I wanted to dive deeper into the world of Media and Entertainment. Movies, music and sports have always been personal passions, but more and more I found myself looking for ways to integrate them into my career. This made Stern a no-brainer. World class professors, groundbreaking courses, and a specialization dedicated specifically to Entertainment, Media, and Technology – all in the heart of the business capital of the world. I mean what more could you ask for?"

Excerpt from Poets&Quants — "I chose Stern because it provides me with the best environment to discover and elevate who I am as a leader. Stern has a warm environment where I am supported in pursuing my unique dreams. For example, in a Leadership Fellows class (and many other leadership classes), my classmates are kind and honest to reflect with me on my strengths and build skills to strengthen areas for development. The same holds true with my classmates in the Stern Technology Association. There are many aspects of Stern that are wonderful, but I’m most proud to build my confidence in being a leader in the business world because of my Stern education."

Excerpt from Elite Daily — “I knew NYU had such a diverse group of students, and I wanted to learn from different perspectives. I didn’t want to be in an echo chamber. I’ve learned so much from my peers. I’ll be like, ‘Do you like this design?’ or ‘Do you like this color?’

At NYU, I could also add courses to my core classes that I’m actually interested in, and that blew my mind.”
