'The combination of a more seamless process for applicants and continued strong demand for our rigorous program led to an 8% increase in applications as well as a total enrollment of 360 students in the Class of 2023,' said Dean Rios.

The last year and a half have dramatically changed the work environment at most organizations, and have forced us to rethink how to accomplish collaboration, innovation and productivity. This has resulted in new technologies, organizational practices and norms that have enabled fundamental changes in how we come together and create things. In this fast-paced conference, scholars and practitioners will share their knowledge about managing remote innovation and/or the new technologies and practices that are enabling it. We will hear their lessons learned, and some predictions for what we might see in the future.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--  "As the table below shows, with the exception of the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, which dropped one spot out of a tie for third place, the top seven schools remain ranked the same as last year: MIT Sloan School of Management second, UC-Berkeley Haas School of Business third, and two schools tied at fifth, NYU Stern School of Business and Texas-Austin McCombs School of Business, just as they were last year."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--  ""Here at Stern, where I’m earning my MBA, IQ + EQ (intelligence and emotional quotients) is a core value. Sternies are living testaments to these qualities. Not only does the entire application require a minimum of 2 EQ endorsements, your essays and interviews need to showcase them as well. Stern also has a smaller cohort (our class size is 320). This creates a more tight-knit community; you’re not just another face nor number. Being in the most diverse city in the world, it attracts people who crave diversity or embody it. EQ is not something that’s desired at Stern, it’s necessary."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- “If you’re Stern, you’ve got to like where things are headed in the full-time MBA. For a bonus, the new class set a school record for average Graduate Management Admission Test score, putting Stern in rarefied company in that key metric, too."

"The 'applicant-centric approach' will continue in the next admissions cycle, Rios says, noting that ‘the combination of a more seamless process for applicants and continued strong demand for our rigorous program’ led to the 8% increase in applications and the enrollment of 360 students in the Class of 2023, up from 317 last year and even surpassing the 359 who enrolled in fall 2019.’”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause-- "Geeta Menon, professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business, agrees that using celebrity influencers can be a great way to access certain population groups. “'It’s important to disconnect vaccines from politics.

Excerpt from Financial Times-- "When Michael Posner proposed creating a human rights centre at New York University, he firmly deflected suggestions that it should be based at the law school. Instead, in 2013, he established the Center for Business and Human Rights at Stern School of Business, where he is Jerome Kohlberg professor of ethics and finance. It was the first such entity at a business school."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--  "I felt NYU Stern had the greatest diversity of student body and professors. I attended an information session and saw that the people there were interested in learning and growing as a group, not just individually."

The first center dedicated to human rights at a business school, it has developed a series of MBA courses, teaching models and tools focused on addressing human rights challenges  across economic sectors."
