Participate in the Fall 2019 Share Your Stern Pride Contest

Welcome in the new school year by participating in the Share Your Stern Pride contest!

For the next three weeks, share your Stern pride and you can win all kinds of cool prizes!

Step 1: Post a photo or video on Instagram (on your feed OR story) that shows off something you love about NYU Stern using the hashtag #IAmStern or #WeAreStern and tag @sternuc. Check out some ideas below! (And remember, your account must be public.) (PS:. Sure, you can use Twitter too.) You can also win by answering one of our questions that @sternuc will be posting on our Instagram story.

Step 2: Sit back and relax and see if you’re a winner! Four random winners from the previous week will be announced every Monday until the contest ends. That means 12 winners in total – and yes, you can win more than once! The more you post, the more chances you have of winning.

It’s that simple.

 

What kinds of prizes can you win?


Things like semi-formal tickets, an Intsamax camera, Away travel gear, gift cards to the NYU Bookstore, Boba Guys bubble tea and iTunes, a leather Daniel's briefcase or Studio189 tote, bluetooth headphones, awesome NYU Stern swag like baseball caps, water bottles, mugs, and more.
 

The Definitive (Not Really) List of Things You Can Post to Enter

 
  1. A pic (or video or boomerang) with your WE ARE STERN  banner. Bonus points/bragging rights if you’ve got multiple years’ worth of them!
  2. You and your cohort. (#CohortPrideForLife.)
  3. A throwback to the best thing you did all summer – whether it was studying away, learning a new skill, working at your job/internship, or going on a fun trip.
  4. The most Instagrammable food on (or we’ll accept near) campus. C’mon, you were going to do it anyway.
  5. A joyous reunion with your NYU pals after too many months away.
  6. Your favorite spot in Tisch Hall, KMC, or Gould Plaza. (Yes, we know they’re amazing.)
  7. Your favorite spot on campus that isn’t Tisch Hall, KMC, or Gould Plaza. (But yes, we also know they’re not everything.)
  8. A beautiful day in NYU's "quad" – Washington Square Park.
  9. Your best presidential posts with one of the NYU presidential portraits. Not sure where they portraits live? Here’s a hint: they reside in the same building as Andy Hamilton's office.
  10. Your best Professor Teaching a Class moment at the head of the classroom. Who knows: you could be a TA while you're here and you'll definitely step up to the podium in class presentations. Practice makes perfect.
  11. A landmark from the city you’re currently in. Sternies studying abroad, we’re looking at you!
  12. Your favorite activity from Welcome Week – Stern Orientation or not! (Class of 2022, this will be easy. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors, dig back into the archives!)
  13. A real-world application of a business lesson learned at NYU Stern.
  14. Documentation from one of the many social and professional activities taking place across NYU Welcome Week/Welcome {Back} Week: Club Fest, Mystery Concert, On-Campus Recruitment, Professional Development Series, Waffle Wednesday, Stern Student Council and club meetings and more!
  15. An NYU Stern-themed Face Filter story. We're not sure what this means, but let's see what you come up with.
  16. And finally, be sure to stop by the photobooth at Block Party on Thursday, September 13 from 3 – 6 PM to snap a pic and enter there.
