They have a temporary campus in the heart of the city, with a larger, state of the art campus being readied for a 2013 opening.  Starting as a personal project of the UAE&#8217;s Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed and NYU president John Sexton (they are good friends), the AD campus has received a lot of buzz for the caliber of students, faculty and grand plans (4k students within 4 years).  Needless to say, the AD finance department has been through some incredible growing pains.  I hope I can help to lessen those pains during my time here.<\/p>\n<p>The learn more about the Abu Dhabi campus, how it came to be, and a look ahead, you can go <a href=\"http:\/\/nyuad.nyu.edu\/about\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-891 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/back-in-the-saddle\/101_1119\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/101_1119-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-893\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-893'>\n\t\t\t\tThe days of hanging at the beach will soon come to an end!\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/back-in-the-saddle\/nyuad-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/NYUAD1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-899\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-899'>\n\t\t\t\tThe NYU campus in downtown Abu Dhabi\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So with a little luck and some wonderful references by some great former colleagues, I was offered (and accepted) a job in the finance department of the Abu Dhabi campus of New York University!
