Inside NYU Stern: Student Leaders Share Their Favorite Experience and What Makes the School One of a Kind

Six student leaders share their favorite Stern experience

"One of my favorite Stern experiences has been serving as a teaching assistant for many classes including Foundations of Finance and Corporate Finance. I love teaching finance and helping undergraduates learn about a subject that I love."

— Sanemi Nair (BS ’24), Undergraduate College Student Council; MBA Student Government Co-President

"The Signature Experience Series has been a favorite because the outings gave me the chance to spend time with people I don’t see on a regular basis in a quintessentially New York setting that I wouldn’t normally experience."

— James Collett (BS ’24), Undergraduate College student; Council Senator

"I'm thankful for all the great new friends and connections, and I’ve loved all the Langone Student Government (LSG) events from Fall Ball to career networking and bonding with first-year students."

— Sara Klein (MBA ’24), Langone Student Government Co-President; Director, Marketing and Digital Strategy, NBC Universal

"Stern offers many opportunities to travel for classes. I did a Sustainability Trek in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, a 'Doing Business In...' course in Costa Rica, a Real Estate Trek in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and a Stern Signature Project on expanding diversity, equity, and inclusion in Singapore—all while earning course credits."

— Nate Hudson (MBA ’24), MBA Student Government Co-President

"Stern’s location in the heart of New York City has allowed me to learn from the best professors in the world who are regularly called on by global news networks for their expertise. Students can learn from professors who are at the forefront of their industry."

— Josh Yohannan (MBA ’24), MBA Student Government Co-President

"Being able to take all the core MBA classes and then focus on a specialization is not only interesting but gives more context on specific areas that students are deeply interested in."

— Emma Miller (MBA ’24), Langone Student Government Co-President; Digital and Omni Channel Project Manager, LVMH
