The W.R. Berkley Innovation Lab serves as the hub of all entrepreneurial activities and events at the school, and in 2008, Stern introduced a Social Innovation and Impact specialization, thereby formalizing an academic track for students with this career path in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Attending or helping to plan the \u201cThink Social, Drink Local\u201d marquee fundraiser is one of many options that socially conscious aspiring MBAs will find to fulfill their interests at Stern. With help from corporate sponsors such as Brooklyn Brewery and Crop Organic Vodka, the school\u2019s Social Enterprise Association hosts the event in partnership with the Stern Luxury &amp; Retail Club. In March 2016, the 11th annual event took place at 404 NYC and featured an open bar and the \u201cI Heart New York\u201d runway fashion show\u2014a fundraiser for Stern\u2019s Social Impact Internship Fund\u2014in which Stern students and administrators modeled clothing by ecofriendly designers. The fashion show is a highlight of the evening each year and has raised more than $10K in past years.<\/p>\n<p>Through Stern Consulting Corps, students can partner on consulting projects with New York City\u2013based nonprofits. And for those who also have the entrepreneurial bug, Stern added a Social Venture Competition\u2014in which participants compete for a $75K prize\u2014to its traditional for-profit $300K Entrepreneurs Challenge.<\/p>\n<p>In short, socially conscious Sternies have quite a bit to keep them busy!<\/p>\n<p><em>For a thorough exploration of what NYU Stern and 15 other top business schools have to offer, please check out the<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/shop.mbamission.com\/collections\/insider-s-guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>mbaMission Insider\u2019s Guides<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although New York University\u2019s (NYU\u2019s) Stern School of Business is perhaps not well known among the top MBA programs for sustainable enterprise or social entrepreneurship, the school in fact offers an array of resources for those interested in pursuing careers in such fields.
