  4. OUR solution • Stern Talk Mobile App • Combines events, posts, school questions in one spot to which everyone has access • Designed to foster community at Stern by facilitating communication among students • Institutionalizing knowledge management and transfer through a communication and information hub • Instant and constant access by students via mobile phones
