Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "NYU Stern allows some first-years to begin M.B.A. coursework in July, as a way for students to lighten their course loads for the academic year. While the majority of the school’s Summer Start students are selected by program administrators for their leadership potential or because they might benefit from an early start, NYU holds a few spots for additional students who wish to opt in, said Isser Gallogly, assistant dean of M.B.A. admissions. He said the school has seen more requests for those spots, which carry an additional fee of around $2,500, in recent years. The 60 to 65 summer students 'get to know each other quite well,' and form close ties, Mr. Gallogly said. Come fall, administrators spread them among the six cohort blocks of the M.B.A. class, where they act as 'connectors,' he said."

On Wednesday, NYU Stern attended a convening at the White House hosted by the White House Council on Women and Girls and the Council of Economic Advisers. 

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "'In New York, the banks have come back,' says Roxanne Hori, associate dean of career services and corporate relations at NYU Stern. … ‘Hiring is active across all sizes of banking organizations,’ says NYU Stern’s Roxanne."

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "'There is no need to build out your whole two years this summer, but you should consider classes or professors that your school is known for and make sure you aren't missing out on anything in early days that would hurt your chances of taking their classes,' Johnson says."

Excerpt from MBA Today -- "The NYU Stern's Center of Business and Human Rights is led by co-directors, Research Scholar Sarah Labowitz and Professor Michael Posner, former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. The representation of these figures from this field within a business school is rare and exceptional. Yet, this is just the beginning. Though only two years old, the CBHR has already helped grow substantive initiatives internationally, and with it sought to establish ongoing links with NYU Stern. This has been seen in the Center's work throughout the developing region, with works in Bangladesh."

Excerpt from MBA Schooled -- "Things will vary especially early on, so you’ll need to get used to throttling. Embrace each day, each week for what it’s going to bring. No two days are the same, especially that first semester, so you really need to take each day, each week, each month for what it is."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "'Our community leaned into hard topics this year. There were awkward moments and sometimes misinformed things were said. But, as a community, we let it get messy. Doing so allowed us to see what needed to be cleaned up.' ... 'When these MBAs enter the workforce, yes, they’ll be able to stand up for injustices, but they will also know how to broach the topics that everyone else is too afraid to touch,' Hurnyak points out."

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "For those of us who attended the talk, this was a rare opportunity to hear from a leader outside the realm of corporate America. The principles of leadership espoused by General McNeil were unique from those typically learned in business schools. At Stern, our course covered the requisite topics of teamwork, power and politics, and conflict management, but it ended with McNeil encouraging us to spark revolutions and change lives."

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "'Banks have come back,' says Roxanne Hori, associate dean for corporate relations and career services at NYU Stern. 'The M&A marketplace is healthy and the start-up community is healthy, so there are lots of IPOs.' "

Excerpt from mbaMission -- "'First and foremost, I think people regard us as one of the elite business schools with our reputation as an exceptional academic institution. I think the second point, and it’s in our name, of course, is New York—and not just that we’re in New York, a capital of world business, but how we leverage the city as an extension of our classroom. I think the fact that people gain incredible access to experts in industry coming into our classrooms, in addition to real-world learning taking place outside of the classroom, in the business community directly—these benefits are huge advantages.And the third is our diversity of offerings. No matter what industry or function, we occupy that space, and just like the diversity of the city itself, the way we approach business and management is very diverse.'"

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "'One common theme we continue to hear with growing intensity from our prospective students, particularly millennials, is the importance of time—how can I learn what I need to know as quickly as possible to excel in my current position or to be competitive for new functions?' says NYU Stern Assistant Dean of MBA Admissions Isser Gallogly. 'The [Advanced Professional Certificate] APCs provide students with specific area knowledge fast—and they are offered on weeknights and Saturdays, making them accessible to working professionals,' he adds."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "...in January, 2014, after my first semester at NYU Stern, I was promoted from Associate Director to Director, U.S. Marketing Region, for Revlon, which significantly increased my account responsibilities. While I had already been on a high performance track, it was furthering my education at Stern, with a double specialization in Marketing and Leadership, which provided even more evidence to management that I would continue to go the extra mile to achieve any goal and that I was hungry to learn and do more."

Excerpt from Forbes -- "The startup plans to use the money to work on its product and hire staff in sales and marketing, but also to bring optometrists in-house to join its 13 staff today.

The company aims to double its doctor customers to 400 by the end of the year."

 

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "Ms Fuchs, who covers Chinese economic news, is on-air each day at 4pm and 9pm and does a variety of breaking news stories and features. Ms Fuchs graduated from the MSGF programme last month and already applies the knowledge she gained in her day-to-day work. 'Now I see how everything is linked. I don't consider myself an expert but I now understand credit derivatives, the fixed-income market and initial public offering mechanisms,' she says."

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "Even some experienced investment professionals are drawn to the MiF [Masters in Finance], either as a replacement for or as a complement to the CFA, according to Kasper Meisner Nielsen, associate professor of finance who teaches in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology-NYU Stern Masters in Global Finance (MSGF) programme. The programme is an 'executive-level” masters where “most students have 10 or 11 years of work experience', he says."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "'At a top-tier school, it’s not about avoiding going wrong—because you are not going to go wrong. It’s about how right can you go,' he says. You want to choose the place where you will thrive. To get a feel for whether Stern is that place, Gallogly advises applicants to not only completely devour the school website, but also take advantage of the vast array of multimedia and social media resources, online chats and recruiting events around the world."

He will begin work as an associate at Barclays after graduation."

These are all skills which are tremendously valuable to any future career.'"

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "NYU Stern ran a similar program ... with around 80 of Stern’s MBA students flocking to Havana. Stern enlisted the help of the Ludwig Foundation, a non-profit that is trying to build links between the US and Cuba. A Stern course last year included lectures by Cuban professors, field trips and talks by Cuban economists. 'Before this trip, Cuba was a country known to me only through high school history classes and the media,' said Stern MBA Erica Rose."

Excerpt from Teen Vogue -- "Becoming a beauty professional is a glamorous goal for many young women, but positions on the STEM side of things--that's science, technology, engineering, and math--tend to be overlooked. 'There are roles ranging from product developers to color chemists,' says Erin, who discovered her niche through engineering internships at L'Oreal before being hired there full-time. 'In STEM there's always something new to do or create--we're transforming the future of beauty.'"

Excerpt from Top MBA -- "We encourage EMBA applicants to focus on clarity and organization when putting a résumé together. While the admissions committee is familiar with many different industries, make sure the bigger picture of what you do is not lost in too many details. Review your résumé for dense jargon or acronyms that might be less meaningful to an industry outsider."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "...Stern this year expanded 'allyship'—a concept promoted within the LGBTQ community of inviting straight peers to serve as allies to LGBTQ community members—to be inclusive of all community members, a first among business schools. As part of Ally Week in April, a full 75 percent of the student body signed the Ally Pledge, promising to serve as allies to one another. 'The Ally Pledge historically has been LGBTQ-specific,' says Hurnyak. 'We changed it so that it includes all people and calls for a promise to respect everyone, making Stern a safe space for everyone.'"

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "My brief time in the country challenged my Western perspective and broadened my worldview in important ways. It’s inspiring to visit a place where people govern their lives differently from the way you govern your own. You not only begin to understand the nuances of their culture but you become sensitive to their unique customs and norms—sometimes even leading you to question why things are the way they are in your own culture. In essence, this is what emotional intelligence (EQ) is all about: bridging differences, building empathy and growing self-awareness."
