Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "In theory, you could claim that starting a venture might distract students, taking time away from their studies, extracurricular activities, and networking. Certainly, Lia Winograd made tradeoffs while building Pepper at New York University. At the same time, she counters, she had access to a wealth of resources, and faculty advice – while being able to apply what she learned in real time. In other words, business school served as a safety net that kept the pressure at bay. Even more, she leveraged her alumni connections to amass early seed funding."

NYU Stern's Vincent C. Ross Institute of Accounting Research and the Salomon Center for the Study of Financial Institutions hosted a roundtable discussion this fall, convening academics, banking and accounting industry professionals, policy-makers and regulators, to debate key issues related to the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) standard, its implementation and its effects on lending and pro-cyclicality.

Excerpt from Person Place Thing -- "For me it's that connection between civil society and business which is what I do today that creates this opportunity for innovation and creation and actually tackling these challenges together.

Excerpt from Yahoo Finance -- "The work of Alixandra Barasch from New York University, Kristin Diehl at the University of Southern California and Jackie Silverman at the University of Pennsylvania has shown that taking pictures tends to aid recall when people consciously look for specific details or aspects to photograph. They called this 'volitional photo taking.'”

Excerpt from Retail Dive -- "'The deal that is allegedly penned between ABG and Saks will capitalize on the ghost of the creative brand that Barneys used to be by transforming it into a series of soul-less, licensed merchandise for mass consumption,' Thomai Serdari, a professor of luxury marketing and branding at New York University's Stern School of Business, told Retail Dive last week, adding that no amount of 'curation' or homage 'can be as groundbreaking as Barneys has been.'"

Excerpt from CNBC -- "It's very different than cryptocurrency like bitcoin or ether, which is decentralized, has no leadership, and relies on a community of people who compete to build the blocks that update the transactions. Because of the design of something like bitcoin, it really can only accommodate a small amount of traffic. But something with central management like libra could really grow to almost any size that you wished.'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "'There is value here. There's a global brand that has evolved the workspace on a unit level--there probably are some properties that make money. The issue is, if you then back out the $43 billion in long-term leases that have an average duration of 15 years, you likely have a company that's not only worth less than $8 billion, it's probably got negative value.'"

Excerpt from MarketWatch -- "The senators’ measure has drawn support from some experts, such as Nobel-winning economist Paul Romer.

Barrett, deputy director of New York University’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights. 'The reason that networks of phony accounts are drawn to Instagram is because disinformation is increasingly visual in nature, and that’s what Instagram specializes in.'”
