Schimmel Auditorium Renamed Paulson Auditorium
Schimmel Auditorium has been officially renamed as Paulson Auditorium. This change and the naming of the John A. Paulson Lobby in Tisch Hall are in recognition of John Paulson's $20M gift to the Stern School. The web site and registration system will be updated accordingly and signage will be added outside the space in the coming months.
New CAS Economics Course

Important Code of Conduct Reminder
At Stern and across NYU we hold our community to high standards. We care deeply when students violate those standards because it betrays our trust and the expectations we have for every community member’s responsible participation in the educational experience.
Unfortunately, we are not immune to breakdowns in ethical and responsible conduct. Over the last two years, a small number of Stern students have been found guilty of infractions including: violations of academic integrity, misrepresentations to university officials, violations of public law, and harassment of fellow students. Each violation received one or more NYU sanctions ranging from a formal notation on their academic transcript, lowering of grade (including failure of the respective course), and suspension from the university.
As we approach final exams, we want to remind you of the seriousness of upholding our code of conduct – the same code that each of you signed at the start of your enrollment at Stern. Don't make a bad choice because you haven't prepared sufficiently or you think that no one will care or notice. We do care. Out of respect for yourself and your abilities, as well as for the integrity of our learning community, take time to reacquaint yourself with our Code of Conduct and thoughtfully reflect on what it means to be a responsible member of our community.
