Excerpt from the Forté Foundation blog -- "My nonprofit friends and colleagues have gently teased me about being a business school student, claiming I have traded empathy and advocacy for cost-benefit analyses. However, I have to say that (as I expected), business school students and professors care very much about the same equality and equity issues as my peers in nonprofit careers. My classmates want to work with people with different backgrounds and opinions, and they want to use business to solve complex societal problems. In addition, numerous professors have discussed how we can use our education to better those who are less fortunate than we are."

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "'A lot more pension funds and sovereign wealth funds dramatically expanded their portfolios into real estate,' says Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, professor of finance at NYU Stern.

Excerpt from branded.me -- "As a business analyst [at Brooklinen], I have my hands in a little bit of everything between operations, marketing, customer service, and biz dev.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants for Undergrads -- "'Massimiliano (Max) Bonacchi. Even though I’ve never taken a class with him, I was fortunate enough to be his Teaching Assistant.

He makes the classroom feel like a community and creates an atmosphere that allows for meaningful discussions around the issues that matter most. ...' – Samir Goel"
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants for Undergrads -- "'Don’t let yourself feel boxed in by what everyone else is doing. Instead find out what you want and let yourself follow that passion.' – Samir Goel ...

The overall objective of MiB was to plant the mindfulness seed early in MBA students’ lives, equipping them with tools to positively impact others while taking a more fulfilling and balanced approach to their work."

Excerpt from WalletHub -- "While I think that there are reasons to be optimistic about technological innovation that will drive growth in the U.S., these gains will be modest for the time being. As for underlying problems, although there are a couple areas of disquietude, they do not seem large enough to trigger a downturn in the near future. External factors are a significant source of uncertainty for the U.S. in the coming year, the greatest of which is the risk of a bigger slowdown in the Chinese economy. While I think the chances of this are high and that it would have a significant impact on the U.S., that impact would contain offsetting features."

Excerpt from MBASchooled -- "There’s nothing more fascinating than sitting in a strategy class and having class discussions with consultants, bankers, techies, marketers, veterans, aspiring doctors, and an untold number of other experts. It really makes you think through business and organizational challenges in a way that you just cannot be exposed to without coming to a place like this."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "A business degree is incredibly adaptable. It has helped me grow personally and intellectually as much as it prepared me for a career.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "One day, I hope to be involved in a more entrepreneurial role by starting my own business or helping with the development of emerging companies."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "'There’s what you learn and there’s what you take away from the program,' Long says. 'What I learned is a lot of powerful techniques in working with data and how to present it in a way that is meaningful for the business. What I took away from the program was not just that but really this new awareness of all of these topics to learn more about.' ... Stern was driven to add a master of science in accounting to respond to a need from both prospective students and employers. Members of the admissions team were constantly hearing from people who wanted an accounting MS that would give them the required educational preparation to become CPAs, says Isser Gallogly, assistant dean of MBA admissions at Stern, and head of admissions for the accounting program."

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "In a speech on Monday, HUD Secretary Julián Castro said he believed the FHA’s decision to lower mortgage costs this year contributed to the rapid growth in home prices and sales.

Excerpt from TechDay -- "We realized that what’s already out there isn’t what we would want, or what our friends want. Bachelorette parties should be truly unique and special, and reflective of the person getting married. That’s when we realized there’d be a true opportunity here."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "This week at NYU Stern, the Military Veterans Club is hosting its inaugural NYU Stern Veterans Week, which will include a 'variety of events for the Stern community such as an MBA veterans Q&A panel where Sternies can ask us about our military experiences, a bootcamp workout session, and a guest speaker event featuring a retired two-star general officer.'"

Excerpt from Fair Observer -- "In many ways, the current situation is a classic case of collective action failure. No one stakeholder wants to take initiative unless others also commit to taking the plunge. In the case of the Gulf, the cultural, sports and academic institutions that sponsor some of these projects—often based in developed countries—claim that they have no authority over GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) policies."

Excerpt from Forbes -- "Don’t rely solely on on-campus Corporate Presentations for your internship or job search.

'The worst conditions are largely in the factories and facilities that fall outside the scope of these agreements,' the report stated."

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "According to Jamie Tobias, an executive director at NYU Stern who oversees experiential learning projects at the school, employers also increasingly seek candidates who are adept at straddling both the public and private sectors. 'You can’t have a narrow focus anymore,' she says. 'The critical challenges facing society require trisector athletes: leaders who can work across business, government, and non-profit sectors. We are hearing from companies that they need leaders who can navigate this public-private line.'"
