Sternies Say...

##  Mopesola

"At first, I was nervous about finding my place in such a large city and making new friends. However, I was able to surround myself with amazing people through the Cohort Leadership Program (CLP), Stern clubs, and organizations beyond Stern. The NYU community is very welcoming and you're bound to have countless amazing interactions!"
