Experience Stern | News & Events

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.

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.”

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- “As I was actively looking for opportunities to use this time meaningfully, Stern’s Office of Career Development and Office of Student Engagement announced SternWorks, a new initiative aimed at connecting MBAs with vital small businesses in need of help to share their skills. One part of the new initiative was SternWorks: Serve NYC, which focused on volunteer opportunities to give back to the NYC community. A project with the NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS) stood out to me because it would be not only a learning experience, but also an opportunity to directly support the community during these unprecedented times. So I applied for it and joined the program.”
