Experience Stern | News & Events

More than $150,000 in seed money and in-kind support was awarded to the winners of the 9th Annual NYU Stern Business Plan Competition. The three winning teams, each lead by NYU students and alumni, were chosen by a panel of seasoned business owners and private investors after successfully pitching their new venture ideas. Taking top honors were business concepts that mirror marketplace trends such as leveraging social networking sites to create unique product offerings and using innovative business models to combat intractable global social issues, including poverty and poor access to quality healthcare.

New York University Stern School of Business and the Tribeca Film Festival have joined forces to offer “Convergence and Cinema at the Tribeca Film Festival,” a new course for undergraduate business students. Offered through Stern’s Entertainment, Media and Technology (EMT) Program, the course will provide students with access to leaders in the entertainment industry and a deeper understanding of the impact multimedia and new distribution channels will have on filmmaking.

Coinciding with the introduction of a new leadership team at its Berkley Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, New York University Stern School of Business recently received gifts from multiple donors totaling $6.5 million. This increased funding comes at a time when interest in business ownership among Stern students and alumni is at an all time high.
