Experience Stern | News & Events

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 US News & World Report -- "New York University's 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 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 BusinessWorld -- "Over the past one year, Raghu has innovated several high-impact changes that will have a deep impact on how NYU Stern is positioning itself to be the ‘most preferred Global Business School’ in Higher Education."
 

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..."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "And at NYU Stern School of Business, technology placements have more than doubled over the past five years. They represented 16.8 percent of all hires last year—up from 10 percent the year before."

Excerpt from BizEd -- "On January 1, Rangarajan 'Raghu' Sundaram took up his new duties as dean of New York University’s Stern School of Business. Sundaram, who joined Stern’s faculty a little more than two decades ago, is the Edward I. 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."

Excerpt from The Star -- "'Technically, all development is a form of TOD. Otherwise, you would never have development in a place without adequate transportation. Unless it is built with subsidies for example,' said Lamson-Hall, who has a master’s degree in Urban Planning from the NYU Wagner School of Public Service."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- “Our business and human rights courses and research opportunities explore how businesses can proactively address issues that may have an impact on the bottom line such as: the risks in global manufacturing supply chains, the exploitation of migrant workers or the dangers to leading Internet companies posed by harmful content online.”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "While the Big Apple may be the perfect starting point for a finance career, Scheer credits something altogether different for his decision to enroll at Stern. 'It was the passion, warmth, and propensity for mentorship displayed by the Stern Military Veterans Club that made the choice easy,' he writes."

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. It would be inexcusable for us not to tap into all the expertise and innovation that is occurring on our doorstep.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "NYU has given me so many unbelievable opportunities and experiences that I know could not happen in any other university. ... Just last month, I was able to attend a Ranger’s ice hockey game at Madison Square Garden! 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. 'I’d like to think it’s a heart and soul move,' she says. 'But there are many more options today for the top talent on MBA programmes.'"

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. 'The economy asked for it, and the people voted with their feet. The government have had to cope with urbanisation rather than it being a deliberate policy decision. 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. 'We have seen a consistently strong level of interest over the past five years, with growing concentrations of students leveraging this finance foundation to move into roles in the technology sector.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I studied at NYU’s campus in Florence, Italy (which is located on a hilltop overlooking downtown Florence) for my sophomore Fall semester. I got to learn Italian, eat with local Florentine families, and teach English to young Italians, all while taking some business coursework such as Intro to Marketing and Organizational Communications."

Excerpt from NJ Today -- "The report, SEC Enforcement Activity: Public Companies and Subsidiaries, Fiscal Year 2017 Update, analyzes data from the Securities Enforcement Empirical Database (SEED)."

A team of NYU Stern MBA students won the eighth annual MBA National Case Competition sponsored by Deloitte. The team, including Eric Gioseffi (MBA ‘19), Denitsa Kosharova (MBA ‘19), Utkarsh Satyawadi (MBA ‘19) and Kelly Williams (MBA ‘19), earned a combined scholarship of $20,000 for their presentation, which took the top honors, marking Stern’s first win in the competition.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Each year, we scour the internet and reach out to the world’s most elite business schools to find startups launched in the past five years with at least one founder who graduated with an MBA in the same time period. We then rank them on one standard: how much funding each new venture has raised."
