Biz Quiz to be held Nov. 6-7
Contestants from 2009 Biz Quiz compete in final round.
Nationwide/Fisher Biz Quiz ,the competition that tests students’ knowledge of critical business news in a fast-paced game show format, returns for a fifth year attracting 18 universities from around the nation to Columbus on Nov. 5-7.
Competing for cash prizes, teams composed of three undergraduate students will be asked questions from articles appearing in The Wall Street Journal. Borrowing from the quiz show format of “Jeopardy,” teams sound a buzzer when they believe they have the correct answer.
The competition will include individual rounds, team preliminary rounds and team semifinals. The three top-scoring schools will face off in a final showdown on Sunday, Nov. 7 moderated by Krishnan Anantharaman, from The Wall Street Journal.
The event is sponsored by Nationwide's Financial Leadership Rotation Program, which is also providing opportunities to students to interview for internships and full-time positions with the program. Fisher’s Undergraduate Business Council will serve as volunteers and hosts during the weekend competition. Read More

IMS, COE provide business expertise to OSU Medical Center's Project One
Conceptual rendering of the future OSUMC's James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.
When The Ohio State University Medical Center leadership team decided it needed some business consultants for its massive ProjectONE, they looked no further than less than a mile down the road to the Fisher campus.
Peter Ward, chair, Management Sciences and co-director, Center for Operational Excellence (COE), and Neeli Bendapudi, professor of marketing, academic director, Initiative for Managing Services, collaborated this summer with the leadership team at OSUMC to focus on the patient and family services experience for ProjectONE and make recommendations to the ProjectONE board for driving best in class service.
“We looked at all the non-clinical touch points, everything that doesn’t have to do with medical procedures,” Bendapudi said.
Applying lean management tools, Ward and Bendapudi’s team analyzed food services, internal and external hospital navigation, parking and valet services, pastoral care and holistic medicine, as well as waiting lounges and the gift shop at OSU Medical Center.
GPO staff take leadship roles in international business school conference
Chicago
Staffers from the Graduate Programs Office held high-profile roles at this year’s Graduate Business Student Services Association (GBSSA) held in Chicago Oct. 20-22. GBSSA is a professional organization dedicated to providing networking opportunities to student services administrators.
“This was an event of high visibility for Fisher among the top business schools,” said David Smith, executive director for GPO.
GPO assistant director Jen Mercer, a GBSSA board member, was conference chair for the event, which attracts business schools from as far away as South Africa and India. Samantha Schnitzer, a GPO program manager, and Kaylin Ward, GPO program coordinator, were both panelists, along with Paul Buckley, associate director of MIT’s Sloan School of Management, leading a discussion on creating a cohesive environment and building relationships with students. Schnitzer also served on the conference’s planning committee.
“The great thing about this conference—unlike GMAC (Graduate Management Admission Council) conferences where schools are competitive—we come together to share ideas,” Mercer said. This year’s conference theme was “Winds of Change,” which focused on inspiring success in students in a climate of economic uncertainty.
Hosted by University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, the event attracted 110 participants from 72 business schools from around the world.
