Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Adweek -- "Sustainability matters to consumers. NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business found that from 2013 to 2018, 50% of CPG growth came from sustainable product offerings and 81% of consumers say that brands should help improve the environment."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "Also, I’d like to hijack this question to emphasize the importance of paying it forward. When I was a 1st-yr MBA student, I was fortunate to have a 2nd-yr friend who must have practiced 7 case interviews with me. He was an inspiration and it was only right to pay it forward when I became a 2nd-yr student. You’ll experience the same thing."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "“This has clearly become an important issue for international students as they are looking at MBA programs and potential higher-education opportunities,' says JP Eggers, NYU Stern’s vice dean for MBA programs and academic director of the Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA, which like the full-time MBA is STEM-designated."

A team of NYU Wagner and NYU Stern students have won first place at the 2020 Kellogg-Morgan Stanley Sustainable Investing Challenge. The team was among four finalist schools that presented, which were ultimately narrowed from 95 teams from over 74 schools and representing over 50 countries.

Excerpt from FindMBA -- "NYU Stern School of Business runs a top-rated part-time MBA program in New York City. The location is a major advantage for students, since it’s a global mecca for business and culture, from finance to fashion."

Excerpt from GreenBiz -- "Furthermore, in terms of market share, we’re talking about a small part of the overall consumer goods market. The NYU Stern research found only 16 percent of CPG goods are marketed as sustainable. (And of course, we might be skeptical as sustainability nerds about what percentage of those goods we’d consider truly 'sustainable.')"

Excerpt from Quartz -- "As the coronavirus pandemic ripples around the world, it’s affecting all of us. But it’s having the most devastating impact on people invisible to many who are reading this: low-wage laborers who support large swathes of the global consumer economy."

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "The dining room is set up as a work space for my husband on one end, while I edit YouTube ballet classes and interviews on my computer at the other — in between parenting, staying in shape, and doing Zoom classes and homework (I’m studying for an M.B.A. at New York University). With a baby, we are held to a certain schedule: My husband gets priority to work on weekdays, and I do most of my work on weekends, or when my daughter naps."

Excerpt from Politico -- "The social media industry has risen to the occasion of the coronavirus pandemic. Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have weeded out phony cures, banned exploitative advertisements, and steered users to authoritative health information. In two notable instances, Twitter has deleted tweets by Trump ally Rudy Giuliani and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro—both for spreading coronavirus misinformation."

Excerpt from New York Post -- "Paul Barrett, an NYU professor and Director for the Center for Business and Human Rights, believes that tech companies have only one responsibility to serve the public during any crisis: 'To not make a terrible situation even worse.'"

Excerpt from Wealth Management -- Students at every SMIF are lobbying their institutions to add ESG funds to the mix. New York University’s SMIF recently replaced one of its small-cap funds with an ESG fund to better reflect the interests of students passionate about the environment and other social causes. The Michael Price Student Investment Fund (MPSIF) is a family of funds, managed directly by MBA students at the NYU Stern School of Business, which was launched in 1999 through a gift from Michael Price, managing partner of MFP Investors.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “Although the term “business” commonly conjures thoughts of finance and profitability, I learned that business is fundamentally about people. Whether it’s understanding clients, customers, or business partners, it truly is psychology and understanding the human experience that underlies so many aspects of business. Businesses become successful by solving people’s problems, so understanding people is the key first step. Business school has taught me how to be a more thoughtful, perceptive person which in turn makes me a better businesswoman.”

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "New York University’s Stern School of Business added two specialized one-year M.B.A. programs in 2018, one in technology and the other focused on the fashion and luxury industries. For 2020, the school said applications for its one-year tech M.B.A. grew 59%; those for the fashion and luxury degree climbed 6%.
'The impetus was trying to think differently about what the future of graduate business education would look like and to meet the needs of employers that our existing programs may not be able to,' said J.P. Eggers, vice dean of M.B.A. and graduate programs."

Excerpt from Fast Company -- “'I think we have been drifting downward for years toward a growing and pernicious consensus that you can’t tell truth from falsity and there’s almost no point in trying to figure out whether there’s truth on a given subject,' says Paul Barrett, deputy director of New York University’s Stern School of Business and Human Rights, who has written extensively on misinformation in election cycles."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I was surprised by how diverse and interdisciplinary my business education has been. Majoring in business lies at the intersection of understanding and analyzing problems beyond spreadsheets. I am currently taking a class on Entrepreneurship & Sustainable Proteins. When I first applied to Stern’s Undergraduate College, I never imagined taking a course that analyzed how plant-based proteins can upgrade our food system to be more environmentally-friendly, healthier, and innovative. I used to think business was about spreadsheets, deals, and quarterly earnings reports. It’s so much more than that."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "When I started to research schools in earnest, Stern also stood out for its flexibility, with a menu of core courses and a broad range of electives and specializations. In spite of its (well-earned) reputation as a more traditionally finance-focused business school, I also felt that Stern was (and is still today) one of the few top schools to place a real emphasis on preparing students for careers within the tech industry, which was particularly important to me given my background and interests."

Excerpt from U.S. News -- "The top business schools for finance prepare graduates to work in business administration and management. Students can often specialize in areas like investment banking and corporate finance. NYU Stern offers an MBA specialization in finance, and the school provides finance classes on topics ranging from bankruptcy and reorganization to volatility."

Excerpt from The Hill -- "'The situation illustrates the problematic nature of the policy which may make sense when we think about it in connection with American elected officials who we want to allow to debate the issues of the day even if they’re misleading,”' said Paul Barrett, deputy director of the New York University Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, 'But [it] looks very different when it is protecting foreign officials who for malign reasons are spreading flat out falsehoods about a pandemic.'"

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "NYU Stern provided the unique opportunity for me to apply my MBA education to the real world through its extensive experiential learning opportunities. Being based in NYC, Stern has many opportunities to interact with people and companies of all sizes and industries through formal consulting projects and informational coffee chats. I was fortunate enough to participate in many of these opportunities, including Stern Consulting Corps, Operations in NYC, and a “Doing Business In” course in Milan. This was a vital part of my decision making process since I knew I wanted to explore opportunities outside of financial services during my MBA."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "I wholeheartedly believe that my Stern experience opened the doors for my career at Microsoft today. Our amazing alums in tech guided me throughout my two years and were genuinely invested in my success. Even Sternie alumni in the C-suite always made time to talk, strategize, and ultimately to build a lifelong relationship. Now, I’m so grateful to call some of those champions my co-workers! I feel similarly about our Office of Career Development. These coaches really went above and beyond to create opportunities for me to meet and learn from leaders in big tech. They were proactive, supportive, and assured me when I needed encouragement."

Excerpt from Newsy -- "Newsy spoke to Paul Barrett, deputy director of New York University's Stern Center for Business and Human Rights and author of several studies on disinformation. He said the response shows 'evidence of a lot of good will and energy being invested' by platforms that had previously been criticized for policies that aided in misinformation spreads — like allowing politicians to lie in ads."

Excerpt from Poet & Quants -- "The school is also launching a new core curriculum next fall, focused heavily on leadership and entrepreneurship, with strong doses of coaching, experiential learning, and problem-solving. Even more, the MBA program can piggyback off a community that includes nearly 5,400 students and 450 faculty members."

Excerpt from U.S. News -- "New York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business also jumped ahead in the rankings, rising from a three-way tie at No. 12 last year to No. 10 this year."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “'NYU Stern informed students admitted to the school’s Class of 2022 Andre Koo Tech MBA and Fashion & Luxury MBA programs that the start date has been shifted to no earlier than July 6, 2020,' JP Eggers, vice dean for MBA programs, tells Poets&Quants. 'Given the latest guidance from the CDC and after much consideration, the school believes postponing the start date for our one-year programs is the best choice to deliver on an outstanding educational experience in which experiential learning is an essential part.'”

Excerpt from Yahoo Finance -- "The push shows how much the platforms can do when they pull out all the stops, according to scholars who study the subject—going far beyond their efforts leading up to the 2016 election, when political misinformation became a prominent issue, and in the years since. But it also reveals some inherent limitations to fighting bad information, even with Big Tech’s vast resources. 'They’ve definitely been more aggressive in responding to the coronavirus crisis than they have been in going after political misinformation,' says Paul Barrett."
