Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "'Each of our MBA programs is deeply connected to industry, with our NYC location being an unmatched asset. We want the student experience to be all about transformation and, as a school, we walk the talk...Stern has a larger faculty than most business schools with a broad range of expertise. Our size gives us the flexibility to be nimble, to anticipate ever-changing market needs and to be first and fast to market.'”

 

Excerpt from Reuters -- “'I think one of the reasons that we chose to focus on these three groups of risk is that they are at the top of the list of every CEO when you ask what keeps them up at night,' says Richard Berner, co-head of the Volatility and Risk Institute at NYU’s Stern School of Business. Berner described to Regulatory Intelligence a new effort to put cyber, geopolitical and climate risk in the spotlight. The institute earlier this month announced it had formed an interdisciplinary approach to analyze each area and how they interacted."

Excerpt from Seeking Alpha -- "More recent research by Edward Altman and Brenda Kuehne at the Salomon Center for the Study of Financial Institutions at NYU Stern found that fallen angels have markedly lower default risk than other high-yield bonds. Between 1985 and 2017, the average annual default rate on fallen angels was around 1% a year lower than on bonds that were rated high-yield when issued."

Excerpt from GARP.org -- "The Volatility Institute at New York University's Stern School of Business, founded in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, has a new name – the Volatility and Risk Institute – signifying a focus beyond just financial risks.

Excerpt from Forbes -- "As explained in the recent report by NYU Stern, the term deepfake comes from the combination of “deep learning” and “fake.” Deep learning has gained tremendous attention in recent years in the field of artificial intelligence due to outstanding results in many tasks, often outperforming human specialists in the fields of natural language and image processing."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "It feels great to be back in school and I am so grateful for this opportunity. Stern was my top choice immediately, and its Fertitta Veterans program, which supports military vets and active duty students in their transition to business school, is extraordinary."
 

Excerpt from Refrigerated & Frozen Foods Magazine -- "NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business (CSB), New York, and IRI, Chicago, launched a new Sustainable Market Share Index, an in-depth analysis of consumer purchases of products marketed for their sustainable attributes. The research finds that sustainability-marketed products are responsible for more than half of the growth in consumer packaged goods (CPGs) since 2013."

Excerpt from Bloomberg Quint -- "Raghu Sundaram, dean of New York University’s Stern School of Business, No. 13 in the ranking, says he heard from the director of operations and technology at Citigroup Inc. and the chief information officer of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. 'They had people with an excellent grasp of business or an excellent grasp of technology, but not both,' he says. 'One of the first things we did was set up an advisory board and ask them what we should be doing.' The result is the 12-month Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA, which started in May 2018 and prepares 40 students for technology roles."

Excerpt from Green Biz -- "Consumers today are putting their money where their mouths are. NYU Stern’s Center for Sustainable Business did in-depth research into U.S. consumers’ actual purchasing from 2013 to 2018 and found that a full 50 percent of the growth in consumer-packaged goods came from sustainability-marketed products."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "In theory, you could claim that starting a venture might distract students, taking time away from their studies, extracurricular activities, and networking. Certainly, Lia Winograd made tradeoffs while building Pepper at New York University. At the same time, she counters, she had access to a wealth of resources, and faculty advice – while being able to apply what she learned in real time. In other words, business school served as a safety net that kept the pressure at bay. Even more, she leveraged her alumni connections to amass early seed funding."

Excerpt from The Washington Times -- "Experts have warned recently that Facebook remains vulnerable ahead of 2020, however, and Instagram maybe more than ever. A report published last month by the New York University’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights warned that Instagram’s focus on images rather than words makes it an 'ideal venue' for spreading easy-to-digest disinformation, weeks after Facebook’s former head of security raised similar concerns."

Excerpt from Financial Times -- Data from the Securities Enforcement Empirical Database (SEED) on SEC settlements with public companies, jointly created by the NYU Pollack Center for Law & Business, is featured.
 

Excerpt from The Washington Post -- "'We are seeing again that the aim of the Russians is not exclusively to favor one candidate over another but to create divisiveness within the electorate overall,' said Paul M. Barrett, deputy director of New York University’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights. 'The reason that networks of phony accounts are drawn to Instagram is because disinformation is increasingly visual in nature, and that’s what Instagram specializes in.'”

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "When Tensie Whelan, the former president of the Rainforest Alliance, joined New York University’s Stern School of Business, it was on condition that it establish a centre to support serious research into sustainability. Now she is running Stern’s Centre for Sustainable Business, she says: 'I’m looking at designing research that will help us best understand how to best design the next stage of capitalism.'”

Excerpt from Inside Philanthropy -- "New York University’s Stern School of Business announced that it received a $5 million gift from alumna Elizabeth Elting (MBA ’92), the single largest gift from a self-made woman in the school’s history.

Excerpt from The Washington Post -- "'The leaders from the business schools of Yale, Columbia, Stanford, Duke and New York University and others want the Trump administration to remove the limits on visas granted to individual countries, reform the H-1B visa program to increase the chances that top skilled talent gains entry to the U.S., and even create a so-called “heartland visa” to encourage the flow of such skilled workers to parts of the U.S. 'that could most use the vitality of these talented individuals.'”

Excerpt from The Hill -- “'The policies they’ve announced are an explicit invitation to politicians to spread falsehoods,' Paul Barrett, the deputy director of the New York University’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, told The Hill. 'And that is not something that we ought to applaud.'”

For the Class of 2019, 100% of students seeking internships secured them. In the Class of 2020, more than 86% found their summer internship directly through a Stern-supported activity."

Indeed, 86 percent of millennials (20-somethings) say that sustainability is a priority for them in their investments, according to research by JPMorgan Private Bank."
 

Excerpt from The Verge -- "In a new filing, a group of seven economists and antitrust experts say the court should reject the DOJ’s proposed solution, calling it 'doom[ed] ... to failure' and 'a remedy that does not meet the standard of restoring the competition currently provided by Sprint.'”

"'The difficulty is these threats are morphing and proliferating,' Barrett tells Fortune. 'My impression is that the tech companies are trying in good faith to protect their users, but the new threats are challenging even for someone with Facebook’s technological prowess.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "...a few highly ranked schools have launched high-profile new programs to respond to the demand — among them, NYU’s Stern School of Business and Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business."
