Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "What do you enjoy most about teaching business students? Several things: (1) Sharing reality with students in a variety of ways; (2) the back-and-forth banter that makes class extra fun; (3) getting to know my students on a one-on-one basis, satiating my natural curiosity about individual backgrounds; (4) being around passionate, well-rounded people who have varied interests and want their work to have meaning – qualities that I like to think I share, deeply."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "What do you enjoy most about teaching business students? I learn so much from my students every time I teach. Our MBA students are exceptionally connected to the cutting edge of what is going on in business and society. And so a lot of the ideas and examples they bring into the classroom are a year or two ahead of what is being talked about in the media. They also don’t always neatly fit the frameworks we study in strategy, which makes for a fun and interesting conversations in class."

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "In Stern’s Leadership for the 21st Century course, Fraser teaches a module on developing intercultural competence — the ability to collaborate effectively with people of different cultural backgrounds. The key is understanding, through an open dialogue, people’s various dimensions of difference in order to connect and relate to them on a human level, he says."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I knew there would be great opportunities, but NYU Stern opened doors to a new career that I didn’t even know existed – I never thought I would intern at a cannabis edibles technology start-up and also at a cannabis SPAC within a few months of being in b-school (both internships were found via NYU Stern network)!"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "NYU Stern’s greatest differentiating factor has always been the community. When I visited prospective MBA programs, I was extremely sensitive to whether or not I felt like I “fit in.” Every single Sternie who was kind enough to make time to chat with me – which, to be clear, was everyone I contacted – immediately struck me as someone I would love to have in my class, on my team in the office, or even just join me for a drink. The conversations were effortless, and I found myself genuinely having a good time getting to know these folks. When I combined the quality of my cultural fit with the benefit of a smaller class size compared to other programs I was considering, it just felt right. I was confident that I would leave my MBA experience at Stern with an incredible, active network of lifelong friends."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "New York Stern’s finance specialization has a keen focus on bankruptcy, equity markets, futures and option, volatility, valuation, and behavioural finance.
