Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “As the driving force behind the Center for Sustainable Business at NYU Stern, Professor Whelan has exemplified academic excellence and dedication to fostering sustainable business practices. I had the privilege of attending her sustainability impact consulting class, a holistic course that intricately blends rigorous case studies, hands-on work with real-world clients, and insightful field trips. Under her hands-on guidance, we weren’t just learning in the classroom; we were active participants on the ground, working shoulder to shoulder with local businesses, understanding and addressing sustainability challenges first-hand.”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “Professor Marciano has left an indelible mark on her students, and I am a testament to this fact. Her expertise in the field of strategic analysis extends far beyond the classroom. In class, her emphasis on real-world current events and the use of case studies to connect abstract concepts to practical applications demonstrates her profound influence on shaping how we view and engage with business practices and trends. Her teaching style is truly unique. She has an innate ability to cut through the extraneous and dive straight into the heart of complex issues.”

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "I've had the privilege of meeting hundreds of students in my short time here, and they've shattered the negative stereotypes for me. Far from being cold-blooded competitors, they're some of the warmest, most supportive people I have ever met. Despite possessing achievements such as launching successful startups, winning international competitions, or publishing groundbreaking research, they stay grounded and never boast about their accomplishments."

Excerpt from Accepted.com -- "The program is for anybody in the world. What we would like, however, is people who are interested in the region, people who are interested in the potential of building a career in Abu Dhabi, in the UAE, places like Dubai or the broader region...What people get in the classroom here isn't going to be very different from what they get in the classroom in New York or in MBA programs elsewhere. They are going to be prepared to be business leaders and business managers. So they are going to get the same kinds of core courses that they get in New York. We are bringing the same robust MBA program that we offer in New York here to Abu Dhabi, and we hope that this program will be appealing to people the world over, not just in the region, but beyond."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "Transcendence is self actualization plus giving back. This is what my students, and actually probably all people desire, which is to be self-actualized, to be your best self... but also in doing so in some way serve humanity, in some way be doing something that makes the world a better place or makes a group of people better off."
