Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "My advice is to look into programs offered by professional organizations and your school. For instance, the Management Consulting Association at Stern offers a session called 'Hit The Deck,' which trains students on how to build a consulting deck. Academic Advising and Affairs offers sessions throughout the school year on Excel, design thinking, and current topics such as blockchain and fintech. Such sessions are a great way to strengthen your toolkit in anticipation of your internship, outside of what you’re learning in your standard coursework."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause-- “When the pandemic forced millions more employees into virtual work, overall productivity improved, she adds. Without a structured work day and the opportunity to socialize, many Americans filled their time with extra work.”

“‘The reason appears to be that when Americans are able to work any time, they tend to work all the time,’ comments Batia.”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause-- “This makes the home office space a prime area for innovation itself, thinks Vasant Dhar, professor of information systems at NYU Stern Business School.”

“‘We are probably going to move to a work model that mixes real with virtual, and I am sure there is lots of tech activity that can make that work more fluid,' he says. 'The technology is not fixed, it’s getting better and it’s gotten better in the last year, even more so in the last three years.’”

Meet Xinling Dai, NYU Shanghai-NYU Stern MS in Data Analytics & Business Computing ‘21.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "And NYU Stern says global interest was strong last year, with a third of that class holding non-U.S. passports. Meanwhile, the Graduate Management Admission Council recently published a major report showing an uptick in interest among international MBA candidates for study in the U.S. in 2021 and beyond." 

Excerpt from Executive Courses-- "New York University’s Stern School of Business puts on the Communication Strategies: Developing Leadership Presence program. Participants practice developing and delivering messages that support their personal brand. Through videotaped sessions, they identify strengths and weaknesses in their communication style. They also get feedback from faculty to make improvements, leaving the course with a stronger leadership presence."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause--"NYU Stern has urged students who witness acts of racism or bias to report them to NYU’s Bias Response Line, while NYU Stern’s Asian Business Society (ABS) is inviting the Stern community to a virtual gathering to discuss recent events."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--"Through Stern’s Social Impact Core, a required set of classes that helps students learn ways business can help solve some fundamental issues facing society, I have come to learn that profit generation and creating value for society at large need not be mutually exclusive or a zero-sum game. In fact, my education has taught me that positively affecting communities can also bring real financial gains and there are many examples of successful organizations doing just that."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--"I’m most proud of my time serving as the Co-President and Director of Conference for the Undergraduate Stern Women in Business (USWIB). Coming into a male-dominated environment, I sought out a community of supportive and empowering women, and USWIB became the most rewarding experience of my time at NYU. Over the years, I’ve been able to serve as a mentor for more than 30 female students, lead a team that coordinated a conference for 300 attendees, and help create a new initiative of diversity, equity, and inclusion dialogues to spread the word about topics such as race, gender, and intersectionality. Giving back to the Stern community through USWIB has been the highlight of my college career."

Excerpt from Executive Courses --"It’s a similar story over at NYU Stern, where Blader has found the key to teaching negotiation is to challenge participants’ preconceived notions, which can run deep in their implicit beliefs.
 
“'The most effective way to surface and challenge these notions is to create in-class experiences,' he says."
 
"His next step is to get students to critically reflect on their habitual mindsets and to realize how unproductive and dysfunctional these default tendencies can be, according to Blader. 'Once this process has unfolded, students are much more likely to understand and master new approaches and tactics,' he says."

Excerpt from Clear Admit--"I was attracted to NYU Stern’s curriculum, student body, professors, and access to its alumni network. I was eager to be a part of the Stern community while being a few subway stops away from epicenters of culture and commerce. Stern’s students, faculty, and staff embody the IQ+EQ mindset. I was thrilled to be admitted to Stern as a Consortium Fellow."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--"The MSQF program offered jointly by NYU Shanghai and NYU Stern offered a chance to study in New York City and build connections with Stern professors, while I was also able to find a job in Shanghai and focus on a career in the Chinese market.  For students majoring in finance, studying at Stern was a valuable opportunity for me to build connections with some of the most famous professors in the field. Also, the degree has helped me get a great job in China, where I live and have a network. Thanks to Shanghai’s well-developed financial industry, there are many exciting opportunities within the local market for finance students, so it was a great city to finish our studies and look for a job."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--"In short, this program was a complete door opener for me. I obviously wanted to have work experience in analytics and that is one of the reasons I went for the program in the first place. Even though I am very curious and generally embrace change, I have been with the same firm for nearly 11 years. I think that one of the reasons is that they have always been super supportive and have offered me diverse opportunities from a role and international perspective. Six months into the program, I was offered to rotate into the Artificial Intelligence team."
 
"Since then, I have been focused on data and analytics work, and I have worked on multiple projects on predictive analytics, simulation, econometrics, etc. This has been a game changer for me as I have been able to get significant work experience on most of the things I learned in the program, expand my network in the firm, and carve a different career path that wouldn’t have been possible without the program."
 
"Anindya Ghose, who is MSBA’s academic director, co-director of the MSBA Capstone Program, professor of information, operations, management sciences, and marketing. His career trajectory, work experience, books and publications are impressive. However, what I would highlight is what a great individual he is and how important he is in bringing the cohort together. From the beginning of the program he built an authentic personal connection with each of the classmates. He was always supportive of any networking plan we did and made sure that we always had something planned that would bring everyone together. In a way, he was one of us at a personal level. Even today, we still speak regularly and stay in touch. He is an outstanding professional, a great professor and an excellent human being."

Excerpt from Find MBA-- "Tensie Whelan, director of the Center for Sustainable Business, says: 'Students are concerned about the state of the world — from climate change to racism and inequity — and want to be part of the solution. They see business as an important player in both creating the problems and the solutions.'”

"Batia Wiesenfeld is director of Stern’s Business and Society Program, an interdisciplinary initiative to develop responsible business leaders with the skills to address economic, social and environmental challenges."

"She says the choice to integrate depends on the subject. In an evolving field such as environmental, social and governance investing, she says students will benefit from learning novel tools and skills in standalone elective courses, giving them more time to home in on dynamic practices. '[But] responsible business education is the only kind of business education students should receive,' Wiesenfeld adds."

Excerpt from BSchools-- "NYU Stern’s online master of science in quantitative management (MSQM) is open to applicants of any undergraduate major and level of work experience. The degree provides graduates with a forward-thinking blend of business management foundations, leadership, and analytics. The classes are delivered online, asynchronously, with students attending two immersive four-day residencies on campus. The program consists of 33 credits."
"Dr. Harry G. Chernoff is the deputy chair of the department of technology, operations, and statistics at NYU Stern School of Business, where he is also a clinical professor of real estate and operations management. He received his MS in quantitative analysis and his PhD in operations management from Stern."

Excerpt from College Magazine-- "NYU offers a fashion and luxury MBA at NYU Stern School of Business, and they offer multiple fashion programs through NYU Gallatin in Florence, Italy and London, England."
 

Excerpt from Executive Courses-- “Close by is New York University’s Stern School of Business, another top executive education provider. It puts on the Finance and Accounting for Non-Finance Executives program. Participants gain an understanding of how basic accounting information is used to communicate with financial managers and to assess a firm’s value and future prospects. It also covers pitfalls in financial decision making including psychological biases in the field of behavioral finance.”
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--“'As we MBA students prepare to re-enter the workforce as future leaders, I believe that it is paramount that we stop to think of what we can do locally first,' says Asher. 'If Stern is the main local community that we operate in, AHBBS is the platform for us to facilitate conversation, engage members and allies, and effect change.'"

"Cynthia added that AHBBS has increased collaboration with Dean Gary Fraser, NYU Stern’s Associate Dean for Diversity & Inclusion, over the last year to have a greater impact. 'We worked closely with him to present the Anti-Racism Proposal to the rest of senior management and have worked with him to host panels regarding D&I issues, both generally and specifically related to COVID.'"

Meet Jeanna Smialek, Part-time MBA ‘21, New York Times Economics Reporter. 

Excerpt from CNBC-- "The American Recovery Act is currently being debated fiercely inside and outside the halls of Congress and one of the topics which has been under much discussion is the extent to which given that we are now below full employment and we have an output gap, given the numbers that are being debated presently in the American Recovery Act and what the implications would be for the increase in GDP that we would see as a result of these fiscal measures, what do you and your colleagues see in terms of the size of the gap we currently have in the economy at present relative to the increase in GDP that would bring us closer to the full-employment level of output, given the numbers that are being thrown around?"

Excerpt from Financial Times-- "Your application, CV and standardised tests demonstrate your IQ, so the essays, endorsements from recommenders and interview are the chance to showcase your interpersonal strengths, says Lisa Rios, executive director of MBA admissions at NYU Stern School of Business in the US. 'I encourage you to use the application as your storyboard. Show us your authentic self.'"

Excerpt from The New York Times-- “Ms. Daly said Mr. Gamble had made a 'material change' at her Fed. And improving is a priority because, as she puts it, ‘policymaking reflects those around the table.’ Mr. Gamble is now in a predoctoral program at New York University. Mentors who helped him along the way, including Lisa Cook at Michigan State University, Ms. Daly at the Fed and now Peter Blair Henry — a leading Black economist whom he is working with at N.Y.U. — were critical links in the chain that is leading him to a Ph.D. His story suggests that diversifying is a matter of tearing down structural barriers that have long shut out talented people of color and offering support and inclusion once they arrive.”

A key Pillar of the student experience at NYU Stern’s Undergraduate College is Social Impact, the notion that business can be used to create a positive impact. One way students put this Pillar into action is through the production of The Call For Corporate Action: NYU Stern Student Voices, a magazine of essays written by first-year Stern undergrads that addresses issues facing society where businesses are in a unique position to make change. This year marks the 10-year anniversary of The Call.
