How to Make the Most of Ohio Winters

As someone who has had the joy of experiencing an Ohio winter before, I have no problem finding things to do. However, I realize that not everyone enjoys the cold as much as I do, so here are some fun activities for those who prefer the indoors!

Two Skills I Learned from My Core Team

As my second semester here at Fisher is starting to ramp up, I set some time apart to reflect on some of the lessons I learned during my first semester and more specifically that I learned with my core team.  During the first semester, we got paired up with some of our classmates based on many factors like personality traits, skills, and background. We had the chance to work together on a couple of different projects from case competitions to accounting projects.

What is the SMF Core Capstone Project?

Depending on the track that you take (either corporate finance or investment management), the Core Capstone project can look a little bit different. For the corporate track, you go through a valuation of a company through a corporate perspective. For the investment management track, the end deliverable is also a valuation but also a Buy/Sell/Hold rating.

First Snowfall

With the onset of winter in Columbus, I got to experience what everyone had warned me of time and again. I had only heard from the alumni and the residents of the city about how harsh and cold the weather could get. I belong to a region where it never snows. Having experienced it firsthand now, I feel that every single bit of preparation was worth it.

Closing the Curtains on Semester Three

With the third semester coming to a close, I'm almost all the way through my MBA. Looking back at this semester, I strongly feel I made the right decision by choosing to join Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University. I was always interested in Operations and that was one of my motivating factors in selecting Fisher. My experience with the operations faculty has been phenomenal with all faculty members having not only in-depth knowledge of the subject but also real-world industry applications.
