Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- “'We live in a world in which the norms and needs of organizations and the professionals who work for them continue to evolve, often with great speed,' says Raghu Sundaram, Stern’s dean. 'We recognize that one size does not fit all and hope to be giving students more innovative ways to customize their MBA experience.'”
 
“'We specifically designed this option to combine the added convenience and flexibility of some online courses with the ability to easily access NYC for in-person courses,' Eggers tells Poets&Quants. 'We have intentionally set up the option to be a hybrid of online and in-person because we believe that coming to New York City and taking some of the classes on campus is an integral component of the NYU Stern MBA experience.'"

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- "Once I learned about the Fertitta Veterans Program, I became fully invested in earning admission to Stern. The Fertitta Veterans Program was created thanks to a generous gift from alumnus Lorenzo Fertitta (MBA ’93) and brother Frank J. Fertitta III and designed to support the transition to business school of US military vets and active duty students. Stern’s commitment to advancing the Veteran community crystallized my realization that Stern was the school for me."

Come show your support for both the Military Veterans Club and Stern Women in Business at the Veterans Day Dunk Tank Fundraiser! All proceeds will be donated to Women for Afghan Women, described below. A roster of everyone being dunked (including Stern faculty/administration and Stern Student Government Leadership among others) will be posted prior to the event so you will be able to plan out who you want to dunk throughout the day!

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "The class that has been the most valuable in building this startup for me would be “Getting to Launch: The Lean Startup“ with Professor Cynthia Franklin. This class took me through the ways in which to launch a startup and how to continuously be iterating to create a product that could quickly find product market fit. This class highlighted the need to move fast and put your product out instead of focusing on perfection over the timing. That lesson was invaluable for me in my startup journey."
