"At NYU's Stern School of Business we have embraced the study of meaning, values, and corporate social responsibility through our Social Impact Core.

Students actively explore and discuss how these institutions intersect to create meaning, conflicts, and ethical dilemmas in the lives of consumers, investors, executives, and politicians each day...
"By forcing our students to examine and discuss assumptions, meaning, values, and social responsibility in different contexts across their four years, we hope to produce graduates who are comfortable with complex thought and do not easily fall prey to the illusions of mathematical quantification and oversimplified market ideologies"
