Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "Leading such a revered institution requires constant innovation, as the world around us is challenged to adapt to the rapid way machine learning, big data, and the future of tech are changing the way we learn. The transformation of the NYU Stern MBA reflects this. For Rangarajan, his school, and business schools like it, have a responsibility to ensure the next generation of business leaders aren’t just part of the change, but lead it."

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "Roy Lee, programme director, says that if the numbers were higher, the more 'techie' students would feel less able to share insights with their business-minded classmates, which is crucial for breaking down barriers. 'The idea is to get their two sides to share their different perspectives,' Mr Lee says. 'Students are learning from each other about where and how to apply their skills.'"

Excerpt from Forbes -- "I believe that in order to be more viable in the market, it's essential to have the appropriate education to back you. A Master's Degree not only will open doors by the connections you make, but also grounds you with strong expertise, intelligence, and insight. Over the past several years, the fashion and luxury companies have increasingly acknowledged the competitive advantage of adding business-educated talent to their ranks, especially in the face of significant technological disruption."

Excerpt from PBS -- "The garment industry employs millions of people in Bangladesh, across about 7,000 facilities, said Paul Barrett, deputy director of New York University’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, which has been following Bangladesh’s garment industry since the factory collapse. 'The remembrance of what happened in April 2013 is very powerful and still symbolizes a lot to the people of Bangladesh.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Physically going to these countries helps students understand the consumer and regulatory environments and is especially helpful in understanding niche markets. Additionally, students don’t often have the experience of seeing the business on the ground (for example, an operating factory) and experience the customer behavior in different countries."

A team of NYU Stern MBA students won the eighth annual UCLA Anderson Fink Center Stock Pitch Competition. The team, including William Li (MBA ‘18), Charles Perron-Piché (MBA ‘19), Diven Sharma (MBA ‘18) and Tim Zhao (MBA ‘19), was awarded $6,000 for their presentation, and earned Stern’s first win in the competition. 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "In short, the ISP trip was an incredible, eye-opening whirlwind. While my body and sleep schedule have not yet recovered from the constant running around, I would not have changed a thing. I went on the trip with some very close friends but coming back, I know I have created more personal relationships with students and staff that I was previously only acquainted with. In the end, not only did I feel closer to the Stern community, but I had more pride for our school and every opportunity it has provided me. And even though we were in Hong Kong for less than five full days, the lessons learned and relationships created will last a lifetime."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Asset valuations are stretched across a broad set of financial markets and some cryptocurrencies have witnessed 'extreme volatility,' Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard said, though overall risks to the financial system are still low. 'Estimates of risk premiums and spreads in a range of markets remain narrow by historical standards,' Brainard said Tuesday in prepared remarks at New York University’s Stern School of Business."

Excerpt from US News & World Report -- "The Stern School of Business at New York University still makes international academic experiences optional for MBA students, but the number who have embraced global offerings has grown substantially in recent years, says Jamie Tobias, assistant dean of student engagement. ... Many students also partner with faculty and go abroad through Stern Solutions to help solve a real-world business problem. A recent group collaborated with the World Wildlife Fund and the United Arab Emirates' Fujairah municipality to launch the country's first national park."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "For this year’s graduating class, business comes down to one word: Impact. As the big day nears, these future business leaders are leaving their mark – often in big ways that defy traditional business roles and methods."

Excerpt from US News & World Report -- "'Think about your story and how you want to present yourself,' Gallogly advises. 'The interviewer has read your entire application so you can go a lot deeper and have a substantive discussion.'"

Excerpt from US News & World Report -- "New York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business will welcome students this spring to two new one-year MBA programs, one for those interested in fashion and luxury goods and one in technology for those who want to add business skills to their tech expertise. The goal, says Raghu Sundaram, is to combine the breadth of an MBA with the depth you'd get in coursework for a master's in data science, say."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I always believed business school was about crunching numbers and producing valuations, but the courses in Stern’s Social Impact Core—namely, Business and Its Publics and Professional Responsibility and Leadership—broadened this mindset and forced me to reflect on why I was embarking on a career in business and the moral principles behind this decision."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "'Classroom learning is extremely important and it gives you the tools necessary to work in a capacity like this, but this experience really elevates things,' [Edelson] continues. 'The opportunity to work with real-world data and real-world information in a significant way makes it much more meaningful.' ... 'Like many other top business schools, our undergraduate students are very high IQ, very quantitatively advanced, and are often seeking intellectual opportunities that go beyond traditional coursework,' Sundararajan says. 'Having an undergraduate research program fills that need to an extent.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I enjoyed getting exposure to so many professionals, industries, and roles and being able to connect with my professional network after school. Because NYU is in the city, I was able to pursue many of these learning opportunities during the school year through internships and get a better idea of what the industries I was most interested in offer."

Excerpt from the Harvard Business Review -- "One woman I spoke with, a successful entrepreneur who was interning at a tech startup before going to business school, excitedly described her most recent position where, for the first time in her career, she reported to a black woman. She said she, 'performed better' and was 'a lot more comfortable and confident.'"

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "'We look for students who have both intellectual and emotional intelligence—what we call IQ + EQ. Last year, we refreshed our MBA application and now ask for an EQ endorsement from an advocate who can attest to an applicant’s ability to lead with empathy and communicate clearly.' Isser Gallogly, NYU Stern"

Excerpt from The Economist -- "The emergence of AVs helpfully coincides with a change in the structure of cities, says Shlomo Angel, an urban-studies expert at New York University. He argues that the monocentric model, with a centre surrounded by suburbs, is a thing of the past. In many large American and European cities, jobs are moving from downtown to the periphery, and workers increasingly commute from one suburb to another, rather than to and from the centre. His analysis shows that 75% of jobs in a typical American city are outside the urban centre."

Excerpt from Law360 -- "Their statements seem to contradict two reports released this fall by a Georgetown University Law Center professor and by the New York University Pollack Center for Law & Business and Cornerstone Research that found that enforcement actions dropped in the most recent fiscal year and fell particularly sharply once the SEC went under the Trump administration’s control in late January of 2017..."

Altman Professor of Credit and Debt Markets and professor of finance; he has been vice dean of MBA programs since 2016. He succeeds Peter Henry, who had held the deanship since January 2010."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "If you are interested in entering the finance industry, this [Financial Services Industry] class is a MUST. It does not get into the nitty-gritty quantitative modeling, but rather focuses on the structure of the industry and all its different business models. From boutique hedge funds to the biggest banks, the professor teaches students how these firms operate and make money. But most importantly, you learn why they make certain decisions and how it affects the industry as a whole."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "...Stern recently received an $8 million donation from an alumnus to establish the Fubon Center for Technology, Business, and Innovation, a central hub to support technological innovation in areas such as fintech, business analytics, technology, and entrepreneurship. Part of those dollars will go into hiring new professors for fintech as well as faculty and curricular development in the area, Yermack says. ... 'The overall message is, like the world out there, we’re trying to evolve at the right pace. That means helping our students evolve too,' DeRose continues."
