Programming included faculty and administrator-led sessions, alumni panels and welcome receptions with top industry executives from Stern’s [Tech MBA Advisory Board](https://www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/tech-mba/program/advisory-board) and [Fashion & Luxury Council](https://www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/fashion-luxury-mba/program/fashion-lab).

The one-year programs were developed in partnership with the business community to address talent gaps in each sector and represent a new category of specialized MBA. Each is designed to deliver a rigorous and real-world educational experience that prepares students who have a definitive career focus in technology, or fashion and luxury.
