Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "I wholeheartedly believe that my Stern experience opened the doors for my career at Microsoft today. Our amazing alums in tech guided me throughout my two years and were genuinely invested in my success. Even Sternie alumni in the C-suite always made time to talk, strategize, and ultimately to build a lifelong relationship. Now, I’m so grateful to call some of those champions my co-workers! I feel similarly about our Office of Career Development. These coaches really went above and beyond to create opportunities for me to meet and learn from leaders in big tech. They were proactive, supportive, and assured me when I needed encouragement."

Excerpt from Newsy -- "Newsy spoke to Paul Barrett, deputy director of New York University's Stern Center for Business and Human Rights and author of several studies on disinformation. He said the response shows 'evidence of a lot of good will and energy being invested' by platforms that had previously been criticized for policies that aided in misinformation spreads — like allowing politicians to lie in ads."

Excerpt from Poet & Quants -- "The school is also launching a new core curriculum next fall, focused heavily on leadership and entrepreneurship, with strong doses of coaching, experiential learning, and problem-solving. Even more, the MBA program can piggyback off a community that includes nearly 5,400 students and 450 faculty members."

Excerpt from U.S. News -- "New York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business also jumped ahead in the rankings, rising from a three-way tie at No. 12 last year to No. 10 this year."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “'NYU Stern informed students admitted to the school’s Class of 2022 Andre Koo Tech MBA and Fashion & Luxury MBA programs that the start date has been shifted to no earlier than July 6, 2020,' JP Eggers, vice dean for MBA programs, tells Poets&Quants. 'Given the latest guidance from the CDC and after much consideration, the school believes postponing the start date for our one-year programs is the best choice to deliver on an outstanding educational experience in which experiential learning is an essential part.'”

Excerpt from Yahoo Finance -- "The push shows how much the platforms can do when they pull out all the stops, according to scholars who study the subject—going far beyond their efforts leading up to the 2016 election, when political misinformation became a prominent issue, and in the years since. But it also reveals some inherent limitations to fighting bad information, even with Big Tech’s vast resources. 'They’ve definitely been more aggressive in responding to the coronavirus crisis than they have been in going after political misinformation,' says Paul Barrett."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “'We got some very interesting and useful information about people — things that people don’t necessarily talk about themselves,' Isser Gallogly, the associate dean of MBA admissions at New York University’s Stern School of Business, tells P&Q. 'Some people don’t like to brag. Some people feel like it’s very disingenuous to self-promote in that way. And there is something about someone else giving the example that gives more resonance to it. It definitely gave us some insight on people in ways that we hadn’t gotten before and I don’t think would have gotten in any other way, other than bringing the person in for an interview.'”

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "Moral Money went along to NYU Stern on Thursday, where Tensie Whelan, director of the business school’s Center for Sustainable Business, gathered a high-powered group to discuss the returns to be made on sustainable investment. Despite the ructions in the markets, speakers on Moral Money’s panel from AllianceBernstein, DWS, Glenmede, Goldman Sachs and S&P Global were unanimous in predicting that ESG strategies would continue to pay off.”

Excerpt from The Salt Lake Tribune -- "According to a 2019 study by New York University’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, monthly wages for garment makers can be as low as $182 in Cambodia, $95 in Bangladesh and Myanmar, and $26 in Ethiopia. Many well-known clothing brands — including H&M, Calvin Klein, Izod and Tommy Hilfiger — make their goods in such countries, the NYU study noted."

Excerpt from Quartz -- “'Clearly the auditing methodology is flawed,' says Dorothée Baumann-Pauly, research director at the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University’s Stern school. She describes it as a top-down system where companies check in on supplier factories in search of violations but often miss the systemic causes leading factories to skirt the rules in the first place."

Excerpt from FindMBA -- "With such prospects, EQ is attractive to MBA admissions teams and corporate recruiters alike. 'Our alumni and corporate partners are constantly telling us that future leaders are those who can foster engaging and meaningful dialogue,' says Rabia Ahmed, executive director of MBA admissions for New York University’s Stern School of Business."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "'My favorite thing about being a professor at NYU Stern is the opportunity to create change. The way people work, organize themselves, and even the way we think about the role of business education and the skills that future business leaders will need, seems to be in constant flux. Deciding how to respond to, and even forecast these changes, and then act on them is energizing. For instance, a top aim of our newly launched Leadership Accelerator at Stern is to develop our students’ psychological and behavioral agility so that they can respond to and drive change in their personal and professional lives.'"

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "Dr. Anindya Ghose, professor of information, operations, and management sciences at NYU Stern, agrees. Bad data is usually at the root of the problem, he believes. 'An algorithm is only as good as the data it’s trained on,' he says. 'To use an old data science adage: garbage in, garbage out.'”

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "I was looking for a business school that would open the door to the career opportunities I was interested in and provide the resources and support to help me capitalize on those opportunities. Stern’s location and reputation offered unparalleled access to organizations within NYC, which is where I wanted to continue my career. With the help of the office of career development, the management consulting association, experiential learning courses, and company treks, I knew I’d be able to take advantage of that access."

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "Formalizing those systems and processes is hard, but professor Deepak Hegde says getting your company’s culture right is one of the most important things startups need to watch out for when scaling up their teams. Hegde researches management and organizations at New York University, and also directs Endless Frontier Labs, which helps technology and science startups scale. 'As a founder, you are so used to doing everything yourself,' Hegde told Business Insider. 'Your startup becomes your baby.'”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Anecdotally, I’ve sensed a lot of interest even from folks who are not necessarily recruiting for sustainability or environmentally focused positions. I think people realize this is something that touches every part of business. So I would say there is a wide interest and whenever I talk about what I’m looking into, other people seem very interested. I don’t know how that compares to maybe several years ago. I know the (Stern) Center for Sustainable Business is becoming even more present and important and getting a lot of features. So I imagine that’s becoming more and more of a driver for students at other schools too."

Excerpt from Forbes -- "Likewise, MBA applications are encouraging more creativity – from NYU Stern’s 'pick six pictures' to MIT’s one-minute video introduction. Admissions teams recognize that there are many ways to share your value proposition, and they want candidates to get to the point and convey something that’s personal, authentic and powerful."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "NYU Stern is investing heavily in areas like sustainability. The goal: staying 'relevant' in a rapidly-evolving global business environment that requires resourcefulness as much as digital acumen."

Excerpt from Quartz -- "Businesses have long pursued global expansion under the shared assumption that foreign investment and free trade inexorably foster democracy and social progress. Expansion in authoritarian countries or conflict areas and even assaults on our environment could be reliably defended, typically on the basis that market growth has a fundamentally positive impact."

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "In a fireside chat with professor Arun Sundararajan at New York University Stern School of Business on Tuesday night, Blecharczyk said Airbnb has started to change the way it sets goals to factor in its effect on the world."
