This week in Campus Chronicles, let’s take a look at what is happening on NYU Stern’s campus through its publication, Opportunity.
The latest edition of Opportunity alerts students to the recent activities of the Community Service @ Stern program and encourages all to get involved. Aiming to provide numerous opportunities to positively contribute to the community, the program organized a group of students to participate in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk on October 26th and is in the midst of planning the Food Fight this month, which will benefit America’s Second Harvest Food Bank Network. The annual Charity Poker event is in the works for February, and the organizing committee hopes to hold two to three additional major events as well as offer regular opportunities for students to become engaged with the community. Not only do these events offer a chance for students to give back, but they also present the opportunity to get to know fellow full-time and part-time students as well as alumni, partners, and friends – a great bonding and networking experience.
Women at Stern found time for both networking and fashion at the annual Stern-J.Crew Cocktails Mixer event, designed to help first-year students navigate the recruiting season in style. Organized by Stern Women in Business (SWIB), the event took place at the J.Crew store on 5th Avenue, and over one hundred women took part in the festivities, which included hors d’oeuvres, wine, and of course some shopping. The J.Crew CEO, Millard Drexler, hosted the event and mingled with students as they enjoyed private access to the store, which was closed to the public for this occasion. Representatives from J. Crew presented their new fall suit line to students while also offering tips for how to make one’s suits more versatile. Students also had the opportunity to participate in a similar event hosted by Moi-même, a suiting company specializing in custom suits for women. The founder and CEO of Moi-même, Dawn Verbrigghe, gave SWIB members valuable advice for preparing for corporate presentations and interviews. NYU women will certainly be stepping out in style during recruitment events!
That wraps up this week’s edition of Campus Chronicles! Stay tuned for next week’s edition as we turn our eyes to the happenings on yet another leading MBA program campus…
