Experience Stern | News & Events

On Friday, April 30, NYU Stern's Volatility & Risk Institute hosted its Second Annual Conference, titled, “A Financial Risk Framework For Climate Change: Portfolio Construction, Stress Testing, and Risk Transfer.”

Excerpt from Fortune-- "NYU was among the first to offer fintech as its own specialization. Other schools have followed suit."

In January NYU Stern’s Office of Student Engagement (OSE) introduced a new, intensive-style Stern Solutions experiential learning course, “Tech Solutions.” In the four-week class offered online, two-year Full-time and Langone Part-time MBAs were charged with helping to provide real-time solutions for corporate partners The Wall Street Journal & Dow Jones, and Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- “'NYU Stern is no doubt one of the best schools in the country. Having emigrated to the USA eight months before the start of my program, Stern’s international student body made it easier for me to adapt by providing broader views and a diverse learning environment. Being in the financial capital of the world made it easier for professors to bring concepts to life and there’s also the bonus of getting to live in New York City.'"

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- "Pivoting industries can be extremely difficult, and my Stern MBA was a necessary step toward my current career. I had the opportunity to learn from top professors across multiple subject areas, while also gaining first-hand industry knowledge from my classmates and potential employers. Stern also offers various hands-on projects and programs that helped me gain a better understanding of what a day in the life of a marketer really looks like."

This two-day program covers: the true meaning and sources of power; the skills needed for effective political management of organizational problems; an understanding of your own political mindscape; and a personal plan for successful political management of conflict. It is designed for middle, upper middle and senior level managers interested in strengthening their political and conflict management skills to enhance their influence and productivity.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "My advice is to look into programs offered by professional organizations and your school. For instance, the Management Consulting Association at Stern offers a session called 'Hit The Deck,' which trains students on how to build a consulting deck. Academic Advising and Affairs offers sessions throughout the school year on Excel, design thinking, and current topics such as blockchain and fintech. Such sessions are a great way to strengthen your toolkit in anticipation of your internship, outside of what you’re learning in your standard coursework."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause-- “When the pandemic forced millions more employees into virtual work, overall productivity improved, she adds. Without a structured work day and the opportunity to socialize, many Americans filled their time with extra work.”

“‘The reason appears to be that when Americans are able to work any time, they tend to work all the time,’ comments Batia.”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause-- “This makes the home office space a prime area for innovation itself, thinks Vasant Dhar, professor of information systems at NYU Stern Business School.”

“‘We are probably going to move to a work model that mixes real with virtual, and I am sure there is lots of tech activity that can make that work more fluid,' he says. 'The technology is not fixed, it’s getting better and it’s gotten better in the last year, even more so in the last three years.’”
