STARS – Faculty Budgeting System

STARS is an online faculty budgeting and expense system designed to replace the legacy paper-reporting process.  STARS provides a platform for faculty to login and view their personal expense accounts as well as previous YTD expense reports.  Stern Budget Office can utilize the STARS Admin interface to manage faculty accounts and run aggregate reports. Department Chairs use STARS application to budget for their department’s faculty and administrative expenses.  STARS has eliminated the need for manual data entry and human errors associated with it.  It is also an eco-friendly application.  Expense reports used to be printed on a monthly basis for each Stern faculty.  STARS makes this info available online.

Using a Multimedia Interactive Case Study as teaching model

The Multimedia Interactive Case Study (MICS) consists a series of modular, high quality digital learning modules that expose students to a real-life case while they simultaneously develop a toolbox of specific skills that support analysis and decision making in a myriad of contexts. The traditional case method, in which skills and concepts are taught and subsequently applied and practiced utilizing real life context, is the basis of this approach. Due to its modularity, the MICS can be implemented as a stand-alone course or integrated into other curricula.

Resources include video documentaries, interviews, data sets, maps, infographics, academic research, news archives, and image collections. In addition, technology and the use of an online platform enable interactive tools which provide the foundation to master specific skills and build students’ toolboxes.
