NYU has introduced new phone-free spaces, events, and resources at its campuses in New York, Abu Dhabi, Shanghai, and other global locations. The initiative is part of NYU IRL’s efforts to encourage students to be more present by reducing screen time.

The university aims to support students in limiting their use of mobile devices through these designated areas and activities. This approach is intended to help students focus on real-life interactions and experiences across its international sites.

New York University’s Stern School of Business is involved in promoting responsible leadership and positive societal contributions through various initiatives that address ethics, social impact, and sustainability within its curricula and research. More information about these programs can be found on the official website. The school also provides modern classrooms, research centers, and collaborative spaces to enhance teaching and learning for its community. Details about these facilities are available on the Stern School website.

As one of the professional schools within New York University—a private research institution with a global reach—the Stern School maintains a presence worldwide through partnerships, study programs, and an alumni network. Its mission includes cultivating innovative leaders who drive positive change in business and society through education, research, and global engagement. These efforts are overseen by a dean and executive leadership team responsible for academic programs and strategic initiatives. More about Stern’s leadership structure can be found at the school’s official site.
