Navigating the Academic Path of a Full-Time MBA

As my first year in the MBA program approaches its end, I've had numerous discussions with incoming students, who shared a common concern: how to choose the right courses. From these conversations, and reflecting on my own experiences, I’ve put together some summaries that might help you as you prepare to embark on this MBA journey. 1.

Global Applied Projects: An opportunity to grow personally and professionally

This semester, I enrolled in a class focused on developing consulting skills for global companies: Global Applied Projects. In this course, I am a part of a team that works hard to support a global company with a strategic project. And here's the exciting part: it wasn't just virtual meetings and late-night emails! During Spring Break, my entire team got the incredible opportunity to travel to Belgium and work with the company in person. Let's talk about both the amazing project and the unforgettable Belgian experience!

Hi everyone! As a part of the MAcc program, you can look forward to all sorts of valuable experiences outside of the classroom. By far the most unique experience is the MAcc's trip to Washington D.C. to study the overlap between accounting and public policy.

Beyond GPA: Bowling & Michigan trip!

As March draws to a close, I'm steadily approaching the end of this incredible journey at Fisher College of Business. This month has been truly amazing, starting with Spring Break week, which was much needed for reflection and rethinking where I'm headed now that graduation is so close. Networking has become a daily activity, and I genuinely enjoy it. Additionally, I used the time to prioritize our end-of-course project with my group, which focuses on Private Equity Real Estate—a topic that's truly fascinating. I'll share more about this in another post!

Get Involved, Make a Difference!

During my time as an undergraduate student, I found my involvement in extracurriculars to be paramount in getting the most out of my time as a student. Jump forward to Graduate school, I carried that same sentiment with me. However, I was hesitant to get involved as my coursework became heavier, and my time outside of the classroom became busier. Once the Call for Candidates was released to my cohort to run for the MHRM Council in November, though, I felt compelled to run for President. And I am SO glad I did!
