New Years Style Resolutions
by Britany Larsen in Voices
Welcome back to NYC and to 2010! The 00's are over and the early 90's can now be considered vintage - that's scary! In honor of the new year I'd like to share some of my new years resolutions with you. No drastic measures here (Heidi Montag listen up!) just DIY, low cost, low commitment goals.
The Internship Bum Rush
by Conor Grennan in Voices
About a week and a half into January, long before the first day of class, I came to Stern to do some personal work. I figured it would be completely empty - I was practically on the way out of my house in my pajamas before realizing the security guard might take me for a lunatic.
A Guide to Facebook's Privacy Settings
by Andrew Chang in Voices
Last month, Facebook updated their privacy settings, encouraging users to share more personal information to the world. Navigating these new privacy settings has been so confusing that even Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, had embarrassing pictures of himself at the beach made public.
Local Dinner Spots on a Student Budget
by Alex Chen in Voices
Sometimes I forget that I'm a poor student with no income. This especially happens when I'm browsing menus trying to find a place to eat dinner. Dollar amounts tend to fade into the background as I get seduced by various things slathered in butter or covered in bacon.
FOSWIB Sponsors
by Lesley Unger, Kimberly Williams in Voices
The Friends of SWIB sponsorship level is extremely important to the SWIB organization. Friends of SWIB sponsors represent a fundamental piece of the Stern Women in Business annual conference, as well as the potential for partnerships throughout the year. The SWIB board tries to host partner events throughout the year as often as possible in order to promote a Friend of SWIB's business and to provide networking opportunities.
Riding the Wave of Change: 3 Muses Illustrate 3 Tenets for Success
by The Girl in the Pink Scarf in Voices
With the SWIB Conference right around the corner, and as we women make up approximately 40% of our beloved Stern community, I venture to write an article that may raise more questions than it does provide answers: How do today's women use change to propel them into success in various facets of life: career, personal life, romantic ventures, and beyond? I speak partly from personal experience (the tidbits of wisdom gained throughout my wise years as a twenty-something year old) and partly from being a psychoanalyzing, media-consuming, pop-culture enthusiast, fused with the astute knowledge gleaned from last semester's final exam.
Blue Note
by Shruti Ganguly in Voices
I first thought Nina Paley was Indian. Her name had the characteristics of a South Indian moniker, and with a feature film under her best titled "Sita Sings The Blues" that parallels the tale of the Indian epic - The Ramayana - alongside Nina's personal break-up story, I figured I was right.
Straight Talk With Stephanie Stern
by Lola Bakare, Larisa Terkeltaub in Voices
Though life is a perpetual celebration of women in business for the ladies of Outside the Lines, the 18th annual SWIB conference has us particularly excited about our passionate and fearless female alumni. Stephanie Stern, MBA '92, is the perfect example of everything we love about Stern women.
The Method Behind the "Madness"
by Suma Narasimharajan in Voices
At a global level, women in business have become more powerful and influential and gender lines are increasingly blurred at senior levels. However, there are still some commonly held beliefs about women that I come across in my everyday work life. They are never explicitly stated, but these generalizations can be overheard and the effects can be implicitly "felt" at the office.
The Inspiration Behind "Innovation" and "Communication"
by Irene Papajohn in Voices
We've all seen how the world of business has been changing and we know that it will always continue to evolve. A few of us have felt that we need courses to specifically help us work within this ever-changing environment. Similarly, professors relish the opportunity to develop and teach courses that are more hands-on and address skills that are oftentimes overlooked in b-school because that are seen as subjects that are better learned on the job.
