#NYU Stern
Each class is divided into 6 blocks of 60-70.
Students run for block leadership positions in September. Blocks organize and participate in numerous events throughout their two years at Stern including:
- Monday Block Lunches. On Mondays, block leaders facilitate discussions and hold meetings with special guests including the Dean and company CEOs.
- The MBA Challenge. Designed to promote volunteerism, blocks earn points through service events and through donations to the annual Food Fight. The block earning the most points wins money towards their block social funds.
- Block Olympics. Competing in events including basketball, speed relay, Taboo and volleyball, one block takes home the title of Block Olympic Champion each year.
Within your block, core course study groups of 5-6 students with diverse backgrounds are assigned. You may choose your own study groups for elective classes.
