Excerpt from Bloomberg Quint -- "Raghu Sundaram, dean of New York University’s Stern School of Business, No. 13 in the ranking, says he heard from the director of operations and technology at Citigroup Inc. and the chief information officer of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. 'They had people with an excellent grasp of business or an excellent grasp of technology, but not both,' he says. 'One of the first things we did was set up an advisory board and ask them what we should be doing.' The result is the 12-month Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA, which started in May 2018 and prepares 40 students for technology roles."

Excerpt from TopMBA -- "NYU Stern Dean Raghu Sundaram says, 'Liz is a wonderful role model who inspires budding entrepreneurs inside Stern’s classrooms, within our alumni community and beyond. She is already very generous with her time and talents when it comes to Stern – especially with students and the Stern Women in Business student club – and has now also joined our Board of Overseers. Liz wanted to deepen her engagement with her alma mater, and we, too, are delighted that her commitment inextricably links her with innovation at the school, giving students exposure to a self-made entrepreneurial success story.'”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "In theory, you could claim that starting a venture might distract students, taking time away from their studies, extracurricular activities, and networking. Certainly, Lia Winograd made tradeoffs while building Pepper at New York University. At the same time, she counters, she had access to a wealth of resources, and faculty advice – while being able to apply what she learned in real time. In other words, business school served as a safety net that kept the pressure at bay. Even more, she leveraged her alumni connections to amass early seed funding."

Excerpt from The Washington Times -- "Experts have warned recently that Facebook remains vulnerable ahead of 2020, however, and Instagram maybe more than ever.

Barrett, deputy director of New York University’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights.

Excerpt from The Washington Post -- "'The leaders from the business schools of Yale, Columbia, Stanford, Duke and New York University and others want the Trump administration to remove the limits on visas granted to individual countries, reform the H-1B visa program to increase the chances that top skilled talent gains entry to the U.S., and even create a so-called “heartland visa” to encourage the flow of such skilled workers to parts of the U.S. 'that could most use the vitality of these talented individuals.'”

Excerpt from The Hill -- “'The policies they’ve announced are an explicit invitation to politicians to spread falsehoods,' Paul Barrett, the deputy director of the New York University’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, told The Hill.
