Welcome to NYU Stern’s Social Enterprise Association blog - “It’s Just Good Business.”  We are on our way to Ithaca, New York for the Net Impact Conference 2009 hosted by Cornell’s Johnson Graduate School of Management.  We had to charter not one, but TWO buses (and a few cars following) to accommodate the demand from our NYU Net Impact chapter — made up of our socially aware Sternies - 56 full-time and part-time MBA students, accompanied by 18 of our fellow NYU classmates from the Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.  So, what was the bus ride like you ask? Let’s just say that it involved buzzing conversation, libations, and a 2x4 box of chocolate.  We all know Stern MBA students are talented, but nobody saw this coming: a spontaneous live beatbox performance by Stern’s one and only Jay Stone [check back for video soon].  We have had so much fun, and we are not even at the conference yet. We are looking forward to hearing tomorrow’s keynote speaker, GE’s CEO Jeffrey Immelt.  Stay tuned… more posts from Net Impact to come.
