Recent commentary from Dean Raghu Sundaram is highlighted: “Predictions for Business & Society in 2021.”

Aspen Institute blog logo
Excerpt from Aspen Institute -- “I believe that a variant of ‘Amara’s Law’ will apply as we emerge from the pandemic: changes in the short-term will be overestimated, and the impacts in the longer-term will be underestimated. In moving most or all classroom engagement online, we have learned what works well. Previous resistance to technology has lessened for both faculty and students. Perhaps the greatest impact will be in the increasingly different modes we use to engage full-time students versus part-time and executive students who are working professionals. Since time is in particularly short supply for the latter, we will increasingly leverage technology to foster and sustain engagement and to create even greater flexibility for them. So too will we embrace technology in new ways to catalyze alumni engagement and lifelong learning for our alumni global communities.

Recent Executive MBA alumna Natasha Rankin (MBA '20) interview: "The Best Advice For Executive MBAs."

Poets and Quants logo
Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “Start With Small Steps: ‘Don’t think about entering an MBA program. Think about what you want out of a program, which programs fit your goals, and then outline the individual steps you need to consider to make a decision and just focus on each one at a time. I ultimately realized that I’d been my own barrier to success when I looked at it as “getting an MBA” instead of “What will an MBA give back to me and what will I give back to my MBA classmates?’” Natasha Rankin, New York University (Stern)”

Excerpt from FindMBA -- "NYU Stern professor Anindya Ghose, in New York, says the key technical skills required are data modeling, data visualization and predictive modeling. Students acquire these skills from coursework such as statistical modeling, data engineering, programming, econometric modeling and from machine learning experiments.

However, soft skills such as communication are also crucial. 'The key soft skills required are the ability to tell a story from mining the data and the ability to lead a team with eclectic individuals from disparate work experiences,' Ghose says."
