The Wonderful World of KMC

Hello MBA1s! By now you must be tired of being welcomed to Stern. I'm going to change it up a bit by welcoming you to KMC. Compared with the campuses of other top MBA programs, the Kaufman Management Center is indeed on the "cosier" side of things. After all, this is New York City, a place where we the people have decided that the size of the boat isn't all that matters.

Barracks to Business

If Pre-Term Were More Like Boot Camp

From the Marine Corps' Parris Island to West Point's Beast Barracks, all military units have some form of initiation. They differ drastically: some focus on physical fitness, like the Marines, others on quick thinking and memorization, like West Point. In some, all you do is work on your tan (Air Force…j/k!).

Advice from MBA2s: Surviving Pre-Term

"Tell your friends that you will be unavailable due to mandatory "networking" until Labor Day weekend." -Ron Zember, Block 3 "Gatorade." -Chad Scarborough, Block 5 "Don't forget to sleep." - Stephanie Mandell, Block 2 "For the many of you who are from or have been working in Manhattan.

'Round the World

Doing Business in...New York City

New York is at its finest in the fall, when the unfortunate smells of summer start to fade, offices get back down to business after August vacations and all sorts of new years start--the new theater season, the new restaurant opening calendar and the new school year.

Talking Circles

Recruiting: A Love-Hate Relationship

By Cem Altuntas First, congratulations to the new Stern students and I wish you the best of time here. Many of us come to Stern to make a career change. It might seem early to start thinking about it, but getting the summer internship we desire is a crucial step towards getting the full-time position.

Back from Beijing: DBi Details

Each armed with what we hoped was a correct translation of our hotel's name and address, 40 Sternies embarked on the two-week DBi Beijing trip in late May. Following a battle with the Beijing morning traffic, a task to be repeated every day of our trip, we arrived at the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University in the outskirts of Beijing.

The Langone Word

No Risk-No Reward

Greetings from the Langone community! Welcome to Stern - one of the premier business schools in the country, and it happens to be in the best city in the world! As a part-time student in the Langone program, I am thrilled to be a part of the Stern community.

Books, Belays, and Bonding: Summer Start 2010

The six week Summer Start program gave select career-switchers a sneak peek into the rigors of student life at Stern and opened the gates to lasting friendships. This year's class of 80 students, the largest in the program's five-year history, was a venerable mosh pit of personalities and talents.

Stern Style

Business Casual: Defined

First of all, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the incoming first years. You will be spending a considerable amount of time first semester dressed in business casual. So what really is business casual? Ladies: Have fun with this. You can mix and match suit separates: dress pants and skirts with fun jackets or sweaters and blousy tops to match.

Digital Get Down

As one of the Editors of the Stern Opportunity, I'm acutely aware of the concerns of the print publisher. There are many reasons why print is slowly dying. For one, you actually have to pick the hard version of the paper up; it doesn't come to you! And there are costs associated with having these words on paper, distributing them to various student groups and administrative offices, and disposing of them just two weeks later.

Scythe and Sound

Summer Lovin'

Welcome back MBA2s and hello MBA1s! As classy movies like Nanny McPhee, Vampires Suck and Piranha 3D take over NYC screens, here are some new(ish) films you should check out at the box office before the leaves turn, and before classes get too crazy: Restrepo: A documentary that follows an American platoon in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley over a 14-month span, Restrepo paints an intimate portrait of combat, particularly the trauma the soldiers face.

Turn it Up

Hot Spots

As the heat in the city winds down and weekend retreats to the Hamptons turn to winter ski trips to the Poconos, there is still an opportunity to cash in on the tail end of NYC summer fun. For the class of 2012 just settling into the New York City social scene, there are several events that the city still has to offer for some semblance of summer.
