In Their Own Words

"I am amazed by how many different companies come to Fisher College of Business and recruit MHRM students. Companies from oil, pharmaceuticals to retail and anything in finance and accounting all come to Fisher because they know they will get quality candidates and they seek us out here. It is much easier to find a job or an internship when the companies come to you." Samantha Johnson Class of 2010
