NYU AND NEW YORK CITY
The City Is Our Laboratory, Industry Is Our Faculty, and Our Students Are the Future of the
Profession
New York City is home to every kind of tourism, sports, and entertainment business—from
five-star hotels to stadiums that host teams from every major sports league—offering NYU students
unprecedented opportunities for internships, part-time employment, and career opportunities after
graduation. A steady stream of outstanding business leaders comes to the Tisch Center at the
invitation of faculty, student clubs, and academic societies. The Tisch Center itself hosts
industry conferences and award dinners to raise funds for student scholarships. Business luminaries
often visit the campus, including Jonathan Tisch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Loews
Hotels; Cristyne Nicholas, President and Chief Executive Officer of NYC and Company, a nonprofit
agency responsible for developing the city’s tourism industry; and George Pyne, Chief Operating
Officer of NASCAR.
