Stern Somebody – Tyler Garnett

By Varna Suresh on December 20, 2022

The Oppy staff is proud to continue our feature “Stern Somebody,” telling the stories of remarkable classmates and how they became the exceptional people they are today.

Tyler Garnett loves the challenge of building things from scratch. He never shies away from pursuing his own path–choosing creativity and risk over conventional wisdom and security.

DBi Germany Spring 2022: Racing into Our Hearts

DBi Germany Spring 2022: Racing into Our Hearts

By Andrew Minicucci on November 16, 2022

As with all DBis, aspiring MBAs register for a course under the guise of learning about some niche topic specific to the country they will study in but, in reality, they are just looking for an excuse to travel and check out a spot they think will be fun… the Berlin DBi was no different. I’m pretty sure NYU didn’t even post the course curriculum before registration opened (don’t fact check me on this), so we all blindly selected the Berlin DBi with no idea what we were getting ourselves into aside from trying to have a fun time in Germany.…
