Experience Stern | Stern Stories

Stern alumni and guests gathered in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life at the American Museum of Natural History for the 17th annual Alumni Holiday Celebration. With the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life lit up in Stern colors, the screens showcasing alumni photos from the past year, and the #SternAlumni social media wall, the space was redefined for Stern. Dean Peter Henry was there to welcome alumni to the celebration, his last one as Dean before he resumes teaching and research at Stern. Chinese and Argentinian food stations flavored the room while the DJs played music from the mezzanine above. Guests celebrated the holiday season under the whale at what has become one of the most popular alumni events of the year.

A night at the museum at the #SternAlumni holiday party ✨ • My friends and I just graduated from college in May so it feels weird to be going to alumni events. So much has changed since graduation, it's crazy!! Super excited to see what 2018 has in store.
