“I attended the NYU Stern Executive MBA event at NYU Washington, DC with guest speaker, Brian Brooks, Executive VP at Fannie Mae, and thought the event was both engaging and fascinating. As one of the few underclassmen present, I previously thought that I wouldn’t be able to understand anything the speaker would be talking about, since nearly everyone who was in attendance was an older, EMBA student. Instead, Brooks made it really easy to follow along, and it was amusing or, better yet, painfully amusing to see him attempt to crack jokes. Having had no academic exposure in the subject matter of housing, I learned a lot from just his one hour long talk. Now, I know what exactly Fannie Mae is; the magnitude of housing’s influence in the economy; the effect of an increasingly diverse American population on the economy; and how solutions have been created to combat the problems arising from aging baby boomers, revolutionary millennials, and the overall changing dynamics of our society.”
