Alumni Voices
Joline Huntemann, MBA 2023
"One of the main reasons, aside from the location in New York City, why I chose Stern was the community, and its clear focus on IQ + EQ. For me, my whole class is an embodiment of exactly this. People are coming from a variety of backgrounds - we are very different in so many aspects (let it be the country of origin, the industry we worked in prior to Stern, our age, culture, or identity), but the IQ + EQ connects us."
