This fall, as part of the NYU Stern Executive-in-Residence program, alumni across industries returned to campus to share career paths and insights with MBA students. Established in 2022, the program has seen over 40 alumni participate across a variety of different industries, with hundreds of students participating every semester.

“Because of our NYC location, it’s possible for so many of our alumni to return to campus to support the next generation of students,” explained Nate Pettit, vice dean for MBA and Graduate Programs. Before the panels with students, he met with each group of alumni on campus to share school updates and thank them for participating. “They generously give so much of their time to connect with students,” said Pettit.
