Excerpt from AACSB Insights -- "New York University Stern School of Business has announced a 25 million USD testamentary gift from alumnus and Stern executive board member Kenneth G. Langone and his wife, Elaine. The money will fund scholarships to support students in the school’s Langone Part-Time MBA Program, especially military veterans and active-duty military personnel. Langone, a co-founder of Home Depot and the founder of Invemed Associates, previously donated 10 million USD to Stern, which named the part-time MBA in his honor."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “EQ is core to Stern’s values; we screen for it, we stress it in our admissions process,” Eggers tells P&Q in a 2022 interview. “I can confirm that when I speak with employers (recruiters and hiring managers) and ask about what they see from our students that is different, this is 100% what they say – Stern MBAs are team-oriented, cooperative, fun to be around, different and unique, and possess high EQ. At the same time, Stern MBAs bring strong tech and quantitative skills to the table. Data analytics is part of Stern’s core curriculum and is built into so many classes throughout the MBA experience. In today’s global, tech-driven environment, it’s a cost of entry requirement for doing business.”

Excerpt from The Chronicle of Philanthropy -- "Ken and Elaine Langone pledged $25 million to support scholarships for students attending the business school’s Langone Part-Time MBA Program. The program was launched in 1999 with a $10 million donation from the Langones; it enables working professionals to pursue an M.B.A. through courses held on weeknights, Saturdays, or online. Much of the couple’s latest gift will be directed toward assisting military veterans and active-duty military personnel in the program."
