Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I always believed business school was about crunching numbers and producing valuations, but the courses in Stern’s Social Impact Core—namely, Business and Its Publics and Professional Responsibility and Leadership—broadened this mindset and forced me to reflect on why I was embarking on a career in business and the moral principles behind this decision."

Excerpt from Health -- "'Start by designating a certain time each day that's tech-free -- like while you're eating lunch," says Adam Alter, PhD, a professor at NYU and author of Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked.

'Like many other top business schools, our undergraduate students are very high IQ, very quantitatively advanced, and are often seeking intellectual opportunities that go beyond traditional coursework,' Sundararajan says. 'Having an undergraduate research program fills that need to an extent.'"

Excerpt from US News & World Report -- "New York University's Stern School of Business will welcome students this spring to two new one-year MBA programs, one for those interested in fashion and luxury goods and one in technology for those who want to add business skills to their tech expertise.

In December I proposed that we think in terms of some sort of KYC [know your customer] laws for social media platforms like we have for financial institutions. And that is some sort of a safeguard so that they know who is paying them, so that would be a good start. But more recently I made the case that that really doesn't go far enough..."

These are overtures that they have made in the past, they have even committed to making some changes.
