NYU Stern Hosts Its 8th Biennial Global Alumni Conference in Shanghai
—
In celebration of the establishment of New York University’s campus in Shanghai, NYU’s Stern School of Business hosts this year’s Global Alumni Conference in Shanghai, its newest “home” city, from June 20-22, 2013. The Stern School convenes its leading faculty, including two Nobel Laureates, key business and civic leaders from Asia, and alumni from its global network of 100,000 to reconnect and exchange ideas on timely business topics relating to China’s role in the global economy.
The Global Alumni Conference includes sessions on global economic growth and China’s role; business practices in China; innovation and the future of luxury brands; global financial stability and China’s status; urbanization in China and more. Peter Henry, the Dean of NYU Stern, shares themes from his newly published book, TURNAROUND: Third World Lessons for First World Growth, including the important lessons emerging market countries such as China can offer developing nations. Chancellor Lizhong Yu and Vice Chancellor Jeffrey Lehman of NYU Shanghai, and Eitan Zemel, Dean of Business and Engineering, NYU Shanghai and Vice Dean for Global and Executive Programs, NYU Stern, share a showcase on NYU Shanghai, a historic milestone in higher education and a point of great pride in the University's global network.
NYU Stern offers 18 degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, including a portfolio of Global Degree Programs. Each program in the Global Degree portfolio includes a module in China.
“More than a decade ago, we innovated a novel ‘blended’ learning model that couples modular learning with technology,” says Zemel. “As a result we are poised to attract the very best student talent from around the world – including in China – and to engage in the discourse of 21st century education,” says Zemel.
“As our world continues to become more globally connected, education is shifting to meet students' global academic needs. With nearly 100 percent of Stern undergraduates spending time abroad, global study has truly become a hallmark of our curriculum," says Geeta Menon, Dean, NYU Stern’s Undergraduate College. "We look forward to continuing to innovate in this area, and NYU's Global Network, including the new Shanghai portal campus, is key to our future planning.”
