Hrostoski are presented with a check from IBM's Robin Young.

international case competition at the 2010 Marketing Summit presented
by the Wake Forest University Schools of Business.
Chad Stutz, one of
the members of the winning team, said he walked into the competition
with a great amount of confidence. "I think part of this was the
education that we have received here at Fisher, both in the classroom
and outside of it. I believe our team had a competitive advantage
over the other teams because we knew each other so well, and I feel
that this is primarily a result of the intimate nature of Fisher's
program."
Members of the winning MBA team
included Vandana Agrawal, Seth
Blatter, Michael Hrostoski, Jeremy
Jacobs, Ryan Kilpatrick, Eduard
Lapteanu and Chad Stutz.
The team was coached by Marc Ankerman.
"From the onset, this was an all star
team," Ankerman said. "I was most proud of how this group of students
represented our college. The commentary and amazement in the eyes of
the judges when they spoke to the students really made me
proud."Read

Rice guest speaker at IBM conference on
college technology integration
|
|
|
Jeffrey Rice,
executive director of the Office of Career Management, was a panelist
among academic and industry leaders brought together in New York City
by IBM and Marist College for in a half-day conference to explore how
best to integrate technology into all aspects of a college
education.
Cloud computing is a new consumption and delivery model inspired by
consumer Internet services. Businesses are rapidly adopting cloud
computing to consume information technology and services over a
secure network on a pay per use basis.
The new cloud offering, now available at Ohio State, would help
academia use IBM software at no charge without having to install and
maintain it themselves.
"The ability to apply technology will be essential to differentiate
our graduates as they prepare to enter the work force," Rice said.
"Fisher has established multiple research centers where
faculty, students and business leaders can collaborate on
contemporary business issues." Video of Rice's presentation can be
viewed
online.
Using the new IBM Academic Skills Cloud, OSU professors can help
students on laptops access information-technology courses and learn
skills such as software development and information management,
according to IBM officials. |
