Imbedded Journalist to Speak to the Battalion

Mr. Stern holds an undergraduate degree from Williams College and an MPA from Harvard University. He has been a staff writer at publications around the globe, including Business Week, Forbes, and, most recently, The Nashville Scene. His exhaustive investigations of airplane safety, police corruption and crooked charities have won numerous national journalism awards. Professor Stern’s op-eds and analyses have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune and The New Republic, to name a few.
