A Conversation with Susan Jurevics and Ara Tucker
Join us Tuesday, March 24, 2026 | 4:30–6 PM ET at Kaufman Management Center (11th Floor, Abbe Bogen Faculty Lounge) for a conversation with NYU Stern alumna Susan Jurevics and NYU Law alumna Ara Tucker. They’ll explore creativity in leadership, storytelling, values-driven decisions, and authentic impact. Open to the Stern community. Dinner served.
When individual members of an organization thrive, the organization does, too. The common thread in the Office of Stern Life is to create the conditions where each one of us can thrive. Putting it another way, we help advance the mission of our community of students, staff, faculty, and alumni. Organizations thrive when their people are fully participating, actively listening, genuinely collaborating and creatively problem solving. Organizations that achieve this environment benefit from full participation of its members, better decision making, and steady innovation. These organizations advance the mission better, faster and with more creativity and energy. People in this sort of organization are generally happier, goals are achieved and talent is retained. In short, that’s our goal in Stern Life: to help Stern advance its mission better, faster, and more creatively. We offer a year-round series of educational, professional development, cultural, and community-wide events and we invite you to be a part of it. Check out our calendar!
Connect, Collaborate, Find Joy
In the spirit of developing an even stronger Stern community, we invite all faculty and staff to participate in our community groups and committees. Some of our groups are grounded in specific identities and shared experiences, yet they are open and welcoming to everyone. They provide opportunities to join, learn, collaborate, build new relationships, and grow together as colleagues.
