What Our Alumni Are Saying
Emma Ferguson, Tech MBA 2025
"Finance with Anjolein Schmeits was tough, but totally worth it. She really broke things down for us and gave personalized feedback. Anjolein also came to happy hour with us after the final exam, earning her major bonus points in my books."
Gayatri Chadalapaka, Tech MBA 2025
"My favorite class at Stern so far is the Conflict, Collaboration, and Negotiation elective by Professor Steven Blader in the fall. This class includes immersive simulated negotiations that pushed me out of my comfort zone daily, allowing me to experientially learn the nuances of successful real-life negotiations...While Professor Nate Pettit's Leadership course taught me that leadership is a behavior, not a role, Professor Blader’s class allowed me to live this principle and reflect deeply on my personal values."
Isha Gulati, Tech MBA 2026
"My favourite class has been the Leadership core course with Professor Pettit during the summer semester. Through thoughtful simulations, introspective exercises, and engaging discussions, I learned to identify my leadership style and understand how to adapt it to different contexts. I still find myself applying his frameworks when leading teams or navigating challenging situations. It was a transformative experience that I'll take with me through my time at Stern and beyond!"
