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.”

Each Fall incoming two-year Full-time MBA students participate in LAUNCH orientation, which kicks off the Stern journey and immerses students in an experiential learning cycle of Thinking, Acting and Reflecting.

The NYU Stern Center for Global Economy and Business hosted the Economic Outlook Forum on September 9, 2020.

Excerpt from FindMBA -- “Professor Karen Brenner was appointed by New York University’s Stern School of Business and the School of Law as director of law and business, acting as a bridge for the two disciplines. “Business and law are inextricably linked,” she says. ‘Corporations are legal entities; the law provides the context in which business operates and combining the degrees allows students to see how the two disciplines interact.’” 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “NYU’s Stern School of Business is further testifying to the wisdom of an extended app season with a class profile that matches or sets three school records — and that reverses a two-year slide in applications.”

“‘Despite the forces at work restricting the free flow of high-skilled immigrants to the U.S., the demand for a Stern MBA among international students remained very strong this year,’ Sundaram says. ‘However, in late July, in view of the continuing uncertainty created by ICE pronouncements — adding to an already stressful situation for many new students of closed U.S. consulates worldwide — we made a conscious decision to offer all our international admits the option to defer for a year at the cost of admitting a smaller class. This was absolutely the right thing to do. Since its founding, NYU has opened its doors to immigrants, and this remains an essential part of our DNA.’”

“'Given the rapidly changing conditions the world has faced this year, we’re especially thrilled to bring in one of the strongest, most diverse classes on record at Stern,'” Ahmed said in a news release."
