Business School Initiative

If you’re pursuing an M.B.A. at a school in the greater New York area, UJA-Federation’s Wall Street & Financial Services Division can help you connect to industry professionals who share your interests in business and in the Jewish community.

Connect and Gain A New Perspective

Meet graduates of your school who are now UJA-Federation leaders and accomplished professionals. We offer events and programs — at no cost — to M.B.A. students from New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business, Columbia Business School, Fordham University Graduate School of Business Administration, and Baruch College Zicklin School of Business, and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Special Events and Programs

We reserve seats for M.B.A. students at The Wall Street Dinner, one of New York City’s most prestigious philanthropic events. Every year, this event attracts more than 1,100 industry leaders and philanthropists. In 2011, the Dinner raised over 22 Million dollars for the 2012 annual campaign.

Exclusive Briefings

Throughout the year, we host a number of panel discussions and other events featuring industry and community leaders. Events have included:

• An executive briefing with David Einhorn, Founder and President of Greenlight Capital
• "Thinking About the Future," a panel featuring Michael J. Smolow, Michael Stern, and Adam Waldmen.
• On February 10th 2012 we are hosting "Career and Inspiration," a panel featuring Michael Lustig, Anna Winderbaum, and Steven Wolitzer
• Volunteer Projects. Each year, we invite M.B.A. students to participate in at least one volunteer event at a beneficiary agency. This March 29, we are hosting an event of Dinner and Dancing with Senior Citizens at Jewish Home Lifecare.
