One sentence quote about your experience at NYU Stern so far:
NYU Stern perfectly combines professional resources with a close-knit community.
Why did you decide to pursue the focused one-year MBA program?
I wanted a program that would have coursework tailored to the industry I am in, as well as allowing me to get back into the workforce as soon as possible. We also get a ton of exposure to industry leaders, and a vast alumni network that is always ready to come through for us.
How did you find a sense of community and support within Stern?
Honestly, by putting myself out there! In the first week, I invited a few people to happy hour, and we totally hit it off. Our little group quickly merged with the other little groups that had formed, and our cohort really feels like a big happy family. Being a part of affinity groups helped as well to make connections within communities I identify with.
How would you describe the culture and community within your class?
Our class has evolved into having an open environment where everyone can laugh and feel safe to contribute their opinions. We have a ton of mutual respect for each other, and we definitely know how to have a good time as a group!
What has been your favorite class at Stern? Why?
My favorite class was Accounting - it was a concept that was totally foreign to me, but explained so well and serves as a foundation for the rest of our business education.
