We were among the first programs to accept the GRE a decade ago, and now we are excited to add the EA to our full-time MBA admissions process. As a school on the move, we recognize that business is rapidly evolving, and we’ve responded with new program options as well as innovations in our admissions process, such as the EQ Endorsements, to ensure we are assessing talent for today’s changing workforce.”

Excerpt from Retail Dive -- "'Audits are certainly important,' Casey O'Connor, senior program manager for New York University's Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, said in an interview with Retail Dive. 'But I think it's fair to say that there's industry consensus that audits alone have not really moved the needle on a lot of the kind of problematic labor conditions that remain fairly pervasive in the apparel industry.'"

I’m extremely honoured to have played a modest part in this deal, which demonstrates in very real terms the growing realization at graduate schools, and indeed, in society as a whole, that investing can align financial and social returns."

Excerpt from The Hill -- "'I think it would be important for the major social media platforms to more prominently and continually warn their users that some of what they are likely to see in their feeds is phony,' Barrett said. 'I think there should be regular digital literacy education going on, on the sites themselves in a way that will warn people.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- At NYU Stern, location plays a big part in the recent uptick in salaries — and the overall success of MBA interns. 'We are very proud of our summer internship outcomes,' Beth Briggs says. 'For the Class of 2019, 100% of students seeking internships secured them. Given our NYC location and deep connections to a diverse set of industries, students benefit from multiple high-touch engagements with our alumni that result in strong internship outcomes.'"

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "The NYU MBA Class of 2021 is expected to arrive on campus with more women than last year—female enrollment rose from 35 percent to 36 percent. ... 7 percent of students are still U.S. Military veterans or on active duty, which is owed in part to the Fertitta Veterans Program."

Excerpt from BEME News -- "Paul Barrett, deputy director of NYU Stern's Center for Business and Human Rights, told me that YouTube's preference for increasingly extreme content is a feature of the system, not a bug.

Excerpt from The Economist -- "Today’s hot spot is Ethiopia, which has attracted investment by Calvin Klein and H&M. With labour costs of just $26 a month, it might seem a dream destination for the frugal clothier. But a report released in May by the NYU Stern Centre for Business and Human Rights argues that these wages are too low to meet workers’ basic needs, which is fuelling unrest."

Excerpt from Market Screener -- "If you find the notifications are disruptive, distracting or are causing information overload, you can always turn them off in the app's Preferences settings.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Another key variable in evaluating the quality of the program is the years of experience students bring to bear. Rob Salomon, vice dean of NYU Stern’s executive programs, maintains that Stern’s EMBA options in both New York and Washington, D.C., are 'executive first, MBA second. Some of these programs tend to be more part-time programs with students that have fewer years of management experience.' In NYU Stern’s Executive MBA program in New York, students average 14 years of work experience. 'They are on the cusp between vice president and senior vice president levels or they have founded their own companies and are looking to accelerate the growth of their firms,' adds Solomon. 'Sometimes EMBA programs are just a euphemism for part-time MBA programs.'”

Excerpt from City Journal -- "In the end, SB 50 is no more dead than its predecessor bill, SB 827, which similarly sought to permit multifamily housing near transit lines. Neither the coalition built by the bill’s sponsor, State Senator Scott Weiner, nor the crisis that it aims to address are going away. But if housing reformers are serious about addressing the root causes of the home-voter impulse, they’ll need to plan for contingencies."

Excerpt from Axios -- "Alain Bertaud, author of 'Order without Design' and a professor at New York University, tells Axios that the term 'smart cities' began mostly as a slogan. But over time, its definition has been fungible."

Excerpt from MetroMBA -- “'Healthcare is an incredibly important part of the U.S. and global economy, and even more central to New York City given the hospital systems, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance providers within the broader region. As a result and in line with Stern’s continued push to diversify the opportunity set for our students, this became a priority to make our ambitious goals in the healthcare space something visible and public.'”
