community and organize school-wide activities
The Council of Leaders is comprised of the heads of each branch of the MBA student

MBA Academic Affairs Program Advising assists Full-Time and Langone Program
students with their academic programming questions and needs.
Whether you realize it or not, they are behind the scenes making sure that you are in the right courses
and monitoring your progress all along the road to graduation. They want you to graduate on-time,
having achieved all of your academic goals along the way. They know the program structure, policy,
procedures and requirements that will enable you to graduate and can help you find answers to
questions regarding your academic program and for achieving your academic goals while at Stern.
On the Academic Affairs web pages, you will find information for incoming new students, an outline
of your MBA program, and a list of frequently asked questions. Curriculum, course sequencing and
suggested programs of study along with the academic policies and procedures for such items as an
independent study, specializations and Leaves of Absence are also found here. Academic Affairs
wants you to take advantage of every opportunity Stern has to offer and they're here to help you do so.
MBA Academic Affairs International Programs manages the delivery of Sterns global
course offerings and international academic opportunities.
Semester Study Abroad, Short-Term Summer, and Doing Business in (DBi) courses are all run
through MBA Academic Affairs; they literally provide a world of opportunity so take advantage!

Stern Alumni



The NYU Stern global alumni network, 100,000 strong i n more than 100 countri es
worldwi de, i s a powerful resource for MBA students.

Students are actively encouraged to tap into the power of the alumni network through NYU
SternConnect (www.stern.nyu.edu/alumni), Stern's exclusive online alumni community, which
houses a comprehensive alumni directory, allowing you to search by location, industry, job function
and more.

In addition, there are 3 other sources available for students to connect with the alumni community:

1. Stern alumni Facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/sternalumni

3. Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33445423@N08/

The Office of Development and Alumni Relations is another excellent resource for engaging alumni,
as they can be helpful in identifying and securing alumni to serve as speakers or panelists for student-
led events.

Finally, many of the MBA student clubs at NYU Stern maintain their own alumni relationships; some
of these alumni can be accessed directly through Club Officers and the CampusGroups website.

Setting up your Stern email on your mobile device
To setup your Stern email on your mobile device, follow one of the following guides (based on your
device manufacturer):

personal email, you ensure that all your NYU-related emails wind up in one place.
12

Question: Why the heck do I have two school email accounts?

Answer: Stern developed their own technology infrastructure to better meet the unique needs of
business school students as a result, Stern specific services (Simon, AIS) are managed separately
from those of the university in general (home.nyu.edu). So youll need two logins.
Question: Where do I change and manage my passwords?
Answer: Please go to http://simon.stern.nyu.edu/. You will find the tab for changing your
password at the top of the page.
Setting Up a Vanity Email Address
If youre like me, you probably prefer being referred to by your name rather than your Net ID. Your
primary email address contains your Net ID ([email protected]), but you may set up a vanity
address using your first and last name to better represent yourself as a business professional
([email protected]). Stern explicitly forbids the use of nicknames and partial names and
theyve developed the latest in automated anti-nickname technology (ex: [email protected] will be
rejected by the system).
1) Access http://simon.stern.nyu.edu
2) Click Personal Address at the top of the screen
Note: Your vanity email address and primary email address both will receive the same emails
without additional configuration (the vanity email address is an alias for your primary account).
Wireless Access
All locations in KMC and Tisch have wireless internet access. Instructions to setup wireless access are
below:
http://community.stern.nyu.edu/it/networking.html

Printing At Stern
As a student at Stern, you have access to printers on campus. When printing from an Stern computer,
your print job will be sent to the print system. The system will hold your print jobs until you release
them at a Release Station. To release a print job, walk over to a printer which will typically have a
LCD panel near it, swipe your NYU ID, and follow the prompt on the screen to print your document.
By default you can print 1,000 sheets per year (both sides).
Where can you fi nd these pri nters?
KMC Building: Shimkin Building:
K381 (Rotunda)

How do I print from my laptop?
To install Print@Stern on your laptop you will need to go to
http://community.stern.nyu.edu/it/print.html and follow the instructions.
Increasing Your Printer Quota
If your printing needs exceed the 1000 page quota, you may add additional pages by following the
instructions herehttp://community.stern.nyu.edu/it/faqs/print.html#sternbucks
Typically less than 5% of students per year will need to increase their quota, but you might if you
decided to print out several copies of Professor Damodarans corporate finance class notes.

Laptops at Stern
Requirements
All students are required to have a laptop on campus. In practice, full-time students will need
laptops (since there are not enough terminals to go around) but part-time students can often get away
using their home or office computers.
In purchasing a laptop for school, Stern recommends the following laptop models and suggested
specifications: http://community.stern.nyu.edu/it/services/mobile.html
Dell E6320 or Apple MacBook Pro 13
Note: If you purchase a laptop at the NYU Computer Store you can make installment payments
interest free and will get hardware support from the IT Help Desk.

Software Requirements
MS Office is required for both Mac and PC users and is available at a reduced price to students with
valid NYU ID cards. To order, visit the NYU Computer Store website.
IT Help Desk
For any of your technical questions, stern provides a helpdesk service to help you get to where you
need to go. You can either email them at [email protected], call them at 212-998-0180, file an
online ticket request at http://community.stern.nyu.edu/it/helpdesk.html or visit them in person in
the basement of KMC UC-120.

Where Can I Study?

All locations in KMC and Tisch have wireless internet access. Details on:
http://community.stern.nyu.edu/it/networking.html

Here's a qui ck legend for some of the access and study rules:
Means this place requires a card to access, you swipe to get in.

This location is reserved for MBA's only. Undergrads can be kicked out.

Shhh! This is a quiet study space.

This uses the online reservation system at Campusgroups located at:
https://nyustern.campusgroups.com/rooms.aspx

Try our Mobile App to reserve rooms (beta testing as of 6/1/2013)
Open http://nyustern.campusgroups.com/rooms on your Mobile (iPhone/iPad, Android, Windows
Phone)

Meeting rooms can be reserved for up to 4 consecutive hours at a time, and one room for any given
student, and usually require at least three students to use the space. If you're 15 minutes late, your
reservation can be forfeited (doesn't apply to administrative reservations). Individual spots at the
reading rooms can be reserved for 3 hours per calendar day, and again, one spot per student!

You've got a big case study coming up, and
you need a place to take your group to
study, or you need a quiet place to cram for
that Finance Midterm.
Let's take a quick look at where you can go.
15

KMC UC/1st Floor

KMC Lobby When not occupied by student groups, located in the back right as you enter the main
lobby, an area with four stools, power outlets, new glass-top tables and a view of the lobby.
KMC Lobby 2 Behind the security guards, four couch seats and a small table. A printer is around
the corner.
Sosnoff Lounge Located under the Grand Staircase, most people will recognize this space with its
couches, chairs, and tables as the place you get a snack or dinner. People also study here.
KMC UC-100 The Beer Blast room is converted to an MBA study lounge with chairs and tables
during the rest of the week when it's not in use as a classroom. This is located
in the Upper Concourse, one floor down.

KMC 1-73A/B/E, 1-75A/B/C Located in the corridor between Tisch and KMC, you have six small
meeting rooms inside here. There's also external computer terminals, a
printer, and a copier here in the main room. Requires: 3 students/room.

KMC 2nd Floor
KMC 2-100: 46 Quiet, individual study cubicles inside here. Reserve ahead of time - individual
spots. There's a sub-room inside KMC 2-101 that contains Bloomberg computers &
another printer. Large communal tables in the room, too.


KMC 2-110: 18 Meeting rooms inside here. There's also a printer. Reserve ahead of time to get your
spots here. Requires: 3 students/room.

KMC 3rd Floor
3rd Floor Rotunda: 2 print stations, 10 computers, and spaces for group tables and individual
tables against the windows. It can get noisy, especially when classes have breaks.



16

KMC 4th Floor

and long table to sit at. Reserve ahead of time to get your spots here.
Requires: 3 students/room.

4th Floor Rotunda: 2 print stations, 4 computers in the hall, located above the 3rd Floor Rotunda
(so some noise from below), and spaces for group tables and individual tables against the
windows. Can be noisy.

KMC 4-70: Starbucks Lounge: Named due to the similar feel and colors, this is an open study
room with a printer, seats and laptop tables.

KMC 5th Floor
Outside KMC 5-100, Computer Stations: A print station, 8 computers, 2 printers, tucked away
in the far back corner outside the OCD office.
WARNI NG: As much as we are surrounded by Sterni es, please remember to always
keep an eye on your thi ngs. Theft does happen, and you ar e r esponsi ble for your own
belongi ngs. Don't leave your phone or valuables unattended.

Stern Classrooms: Classrooms may be used if open, but note that professors and
administrators can kick groups out for academic purposes or school uses. Student

Outdoor Spaces:
Gould Plaza: The large open plaza space that is above Paulson Auditorium, with seating. Around the
corner is a secured bike rack, too, accessible via a swipe card.
4th Floor Outdoor Patios: Located on the fourth floor, there are two patios, one facing Gould
Plaza and a second along the back of Stern facing West 3rd St. These are open seasonally, and usually
only during the day.
Other Outdoor Patios in Stern: There are a number of other outdoor platforms in Stern, but most
of them are not accessible to the student body.
17

Other Options:
There are other options for study space if it seems like the building is filled up. Keep in mind, these
are open often to the rest of NYU or the public.
Tisch: The undergraduate building of NYU Stern has numerous lobby spaces, classrooms, study
areas, and laptop stations, but undergraduates usually have priority here. Accessible from KMC via
the 1st floor corridor or the Upper and Lower Concourse levels.
KMC-Bobst Corridor: Located outside between KMC and Bobst, there are multiple metal chairs
and tables here to sit. Not well-lit at night, though.
Bobst Library (70 Washington Sq. South): The massive brick building beside KMC, you can find
study rooms in the lower level, and throughout the stacks on levels 4 through 10. The
mezzanine is a good place to wait out bad weather, and you can rent laptops (strict about
tardy returns) here, too.
Kimmel Center (60 Washington Sq. South): The student center beside Bobst has a Commuter
Lounge on the 2nd floor, and lounges on either side of the main stairway entering the
building. Floors 2, 7, 8, and 9 all contain more study areas.

Washington Square Park: Located just north and west of NYU Stern, and in front of Bobst and
Kimmel, you'll find a large park. Recently undergoing renovation, there are spaces to sit and study on
stone or metal benches, some tables, and grass. Plus a fountain and a dog run, too.
For wireless access on the NYURoam network (outside of Stern/KMC/Shimkin/Tisch), you can look

st
Floor of KMC.
Sosnoff offers drinks, coffee, snacks, and pre-made salads and sandwiches.

Sounds good, but how do I get there?

From Schwartz Plaza Entrance:
Pass information desk and turn left.


Hours:
Monday Thursday: 8 am to 8 pm
Friday: 8 am to 7 pm
Saturday: 8 am to 3:30 pm




Got a late night group project or an early morning study session

Virtual Business Library (VBL)

The Virtual Business Library at Stern is your personal research library at Stern or on the go. It is an
incredible resource and one you should get familiar with.
You can find the library at: http://library.nyu.edu/vbl/ or you can access it through Sternlinks. To
access the library you need to have an NYU (not Stern) email. Every NYU student has one, so just
make sure it is activated and you are good to go.
When you first visit the VBL take a couple of minutes to watch the short tutorial video.
If you need assistance in your search, there are many ways to get help:
Very comprehensive Business FAQ section:
http://faq.vbl.nyu.edu/recordList?library=nyu_business&institution=NYU
http://library.nyu.edu/ask/ includes a chat feature where you can communicate with
librarians. This feature is also imbedded on the side of the search pages for easy access.
IM: AskBobst
Text/SMS: 646-265-1342
Call: 212-998-2500
Email: http://library.nyu.edu/ask/email.html
You can also schedule an appointment to meet with a subject expert:
http://library.nyu.edu/forms/research/consultations.html
Even if there is a resource you need that the library does not have, there is an interlibrary loan service.
You can make a request through the NYU library (not the business library) and they can borrow it for
you and send it as a PDF: http://ill.library.nyu.edu/illiad/illiad.dll
Remember, the people working at the library are there to help you. Do not hesitate to contact them
when you have any issues. If you have tried to figure out why something is not working or cannot find
something, let them know.
