Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "What do you think makes you stand out as a professor?

Dear Members of the Stern Community:

You are all likely aware of the events on Gould Plaza yesterday and have received President Linda Mills' letter (below) describing NYU's response to the event. The gathering created severe disruption to activities at Stern and caused some community members to feel unsafe; this was, in the end, the only way to find resolution.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “'We are deeply grateful for his extraordinary generosity and commitment to his alma mater. As one of the most successful entrepreneurs to graduate from the Stern School, we are honored that this program will bear his name.'”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “The partners that sign up for this, they know what they’re getting: A bunch of really smart undergraduate students grinding away on stuff they don’t necessarily always have the time to do. For them, it’s value-add just like a consulting firm would be with the spin that this is Gen Z. There are unique insights that this demographic of people can bring that maybe even the big consulting firms can’t promise.”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause — “'Transitioning back to the office is likely to require some adapting, which might be accompanied by a temporary drop in productivity,' she explains. '[Some employees] may find the transition challenging, especially if they have developed efficient remote working dynamics that are now being dismantled.'”
 

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "Yale SOM continues to cement their presence in the top-10, holding steady at #7. They were joined by Berkeley Haas and NYU Stern, which jumped up from #10 last year."

How can we better understand trends like the rise of political dysfunction and the decline of teen mental health? #NYUStern Professor Jonathan Haidt leverages moral psychology to explain.

NYU Stern’s EMBA DC program is designed for executives in the surrounding area with a unique format that meets once-per-month to maximize time at work and home and minimize travel. This added flexibility has allowed students to earn a top-ranked MBA degree with other executives in D.C. while also forging connections with their EMBA NY counterparts during cohort visits to NYC.

Excerpt from Fortune -- “'So much change is afoot in fintech that keeping pace with it is the biggest challenge and opportunity; an advanced degree is a great way to get and stay up-to-date, and even to leapfrog to the next level,' DeRose says."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "I’m most proud of helping to launch the Initiative Fund. This is an evergreen, student-run, discretionary grant fund endowed by the university to the student government assembly for the purpose of bettering the NYU community and the lives of NYU students. The fund is still in its inaugural year, but is already on track to fund the creation of a food pantry in Steinhardt, living walls of plants in Stern and other buildings around campus, the installation of new water fountains, and the provision of new seating areas for students. I’ve really enjoyed being involved in student government, but these sorts of tangible projects are by far the most rewarding to work on because I know my efforts will be directly felt by my peers."
 

In February, the first participants of the new C-Suite Pathway Program, offered jointly by IESE Business School and NYU Stern Executive Education, arrived on Stern’s campus in NYC as part of the five-month executive education program, which kicked off in December.

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "Robert Seamans, professor of Management and Organisations at NYU Stern School of Business, expects he and his peers will be helped to become better at what they already do by AI tools such as ChatGPT, rather than having their roles taken over."

"They will certainly be 'faster, and I hope it means that’s better,' explains Seamans — and he is well placed to judge, having co-authored research into the professions most vulnerable to the rapid growth of AI."
 

Excerpt from Find MBA -- “'Our location in New York City, an international hub, continues to prove advantageous for program graduates. The majority of our MBA students accept roles in the tristate area,' says Thomaï Serdari, a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business."

How can we let go of being a "good" person — and instead focus on acknowledging mistakes to continue growing? NYU Stern Professor Dolly Chugh, using her background as a social psychologist, focuses her research on how to become what she coined “good-ish.”

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "After considering a few different programs, I became completely enamored by NYU Stern’s Entertainment specialization and the connection that NYU has to the broader film and entertainment industry. Because I was making such a big pivot, I knew I needed to attend an MBA program where I could garner as much knowledge and requisite skills related specifically to the entertainment industry as possible. Between the entertainment-specific classes, entertainment professional club, alumni network, and experiential learning opportunities like attending the Cannes Film Festival, I knew Stern was the perfect fit for me."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "The biggest lesson I learned is the importance of taking time to get to know the people around you. Whether it be in a class, an internship, or an extracurricular activity, people are at the core of everything you do in business. Getting to know your peers rewards you with lifelong friends and the ability to work more smoothly in a team. At the same time, I learned the importance of surrounding myself with people who consistently challenge me and make me think."
 

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "He said the skill set and experience of the employee using the AI is what really matters, not how people are simply prompting the model. For Grennan, the main way to improve AI-generated content is to learn how to talk to it like a human, which means getting over the mental block of chatting with a machine."

This January, Class of 2024 students in NYU Stern’s one-year Andre Koo Technology & Entrepreneurship MBA Program traveled to Silicon Valley, Seattle, and Los Angeles as part of an intensive three-credit course designed to immerse students in the West Coast tech ecosystem.
