The weeklong celebration began with an impressive lineup of virtual discussions that featured Stern faculty, administrators, parents, and more. Virtual programs included A Conversation with Professors Scott Galloway and David Yermack and Synthetic Biology and Rewriting the Rules of Life with Professor Amy Webb. Many programs highlighted contemporary themes, such as Transforming “The Great Resignation” into “The Great Reimagination,” hosted by the Stern Women in Business (SWIB) Alumnae Committee.
