Oppy can be quite Stern at times but is here to answer the queries and qualms of all MBA students so send them his/her way at oppy@stern.nyu.edu.

Dear Oppy,

There is this guy in my 6:30pm branding class and I can’t even figure out what block he’s in. He’s super weird; always in a suit or biz casual, and I’m pretty sure recruiting is done.

Dear Oppy,

I’m so nervous for virtual recruiting this year. In addition to the stress of normal years, Zoom is adding another layer of complexity. What should my background look like? When should I go on mute? And most importantly, what should I wear?

Dear Gloom,

Dear Oppy,

I’ve recently started my MBA.. Do you have any advice for my next two years?

Best,

MBA1

Dear MBA1,

Take advantage of being back in school! Attend every class and speaker event in person. Sure, it can be uncomfortable to pile into a packed auditorium to hear a famous speaker or cram into a crowded bar for a social event – but events like these are where the memories are truly made.…

Dear Oppy,

Remember when the tent on Gould Plaza was home to Stern Social, aka Beer Blast. Now it’s a COVID testing center for NYU. That is all.

Best, One Sad Sternie

Dear Sad Sternie,

RIP “Tent Blast.” May the plaza forever echo the drunken bellows made by all previous MBA students that would seep into the walls of KMC, spreading jealousy throughout all Langoners taking Thursday evening classes.…

Dear Oppy,

What can I do to help during the crisis?

Sincerely,

Friendly Neighbor

Dear Friendly,

There’s a lot you can do during the crisis! Try making sandwiches for all your neighbors! Deliver them door to door with a friendly handshake. Physical contact helps ease the tension. Same goes for family: give them a great big hug!…
