Orientation Programs
At NYU Stern, we inspire our students to think big. As part of NYU's Global Network University, we spur students to think broadly about the ever-changing dynamic of business and its impact on the world around us. We encourage students to consider their role at Stern and to grasp the unparalleled opportunities at their fingertips.
Upon their arrival at Stern, students will encounter our innovative programming uniquely designed to challenge prior experiences. Stern MBA students will immediately engage in a conversation that questions basic assumptions about business school and the role of business within society. During their time at Stern, we at the Office of Student Engagement will partner with students to continually explore this dialogue. With their newly discovered perspective, it is then up to them to drive their next chapter and begin their journey.Welcome to NYU Stern.
