EVENTS

We organize events for students, faculty and practitioners to discuss the human rights challenges modern companies face and how leaders are responding.

 

executive-in-residence series

In partnership with the Social Enterprise Association, we host a regular program to bring sustainability and corporate social responsibility executives from major brands to Stern. This event provides students an opportunity to learn about strengthening human rights and sustainability protections from veteran practitioners.
 
Each executive visits the NYU Stern campus for a day and delivers both a public presentation and meets one-on-one with selected students to discuss specific questions they may have.
