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."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "Citing preeminent nearby firms such as Union Square Ventures, IBM Blockchain Garage, the Digital Currency Group, [Yermack] adds that 'the main financial markets of the world and many of the important regulators are also in New York.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "NYU has given me so many unbelievable opportunities and experiences that I know could not happen in any other university. ...

Another exclusive Stern opportunity I am looking forward to: Hong Kong for our spring break as part of our International Studies Program (more details to come on this in the spring)!"

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "Although recruiters talk about the need to have a diverse environment, Hori still believes that the primary motivation is not to miss out on the best graduates.

Translated excerpt from El Pilon -- "Nicolás Galarza explained, 'during the investigation we realized that there are several collaborative schemes in which the private sector manages and is responsible for the maintenance of parks, freeing those burdens from the mayorships. This is a win-win scheme: from the point of view of the private sector, this means that it will be a park that will have more people visiting, improves security, improves traffic, businesses increase their sales, improves the value of the properties; and from the point of view of the administration, significant resources are saved to be allocated to other priorities for the city...'"

Excerpt from South China Morning Post -- "'Urbanisation didn’t happen (in China) because the government wanted the country to urbanise,' noted Alain Bertaud, urban planner and senior research scholar at the US’s NYU Stern Urbanisation Project.

In a way, they are paying the price of this rapid urbanisation now.'"

Excerpt from TopMBA -- "'Because of our exceptional finance faculty, NYU Stern continues to work closely with many investment banking partners and to attract students who are focused on roles in the industry,' adds Briggs.

The same is true of global exchange programs, where an impressive 56% of graduates spend a semester studying abroad."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "According to Gallogly, the EQ endorsement has indeed been 'adding a whole new vantage point through which we can assess the applicant. We felt like there was a gap in the kind of information that could be gathered about an applicant,' Gallogly says today (January 12) in an email exchange with Poets&Quants. 'The EQ endorsement is really a character reference from someone who believes in the applicant’s EQ. It’s an additional dimension that a professional recommendation doesn’t provide by its nature. We’ve received EQ endorsements from mentors, lifelong friends, some from the professional arena — they provide an emotional resonance.'"

Excerpt from Accounting Today -- "NYU team members Denitsa Kosharova, Kelly Williams, Eric Gioseffi and Utkarsh Satyawadi won scholarships totaling $20,000 for their presentation on how to grow the coffee company Chameleon Cold-Brew.
