Cheering the Buckeyes on to a win!This past weekend in Columbus was a blast as I had one of my friends from undergrad visiting, braving the cold coming up from Atlanta. Showing him around campus and the city was a great time. Columbus makes it easy for me to be a great host and show a guest an action packed weekend.On Saturday, we hit up the men's basketball game against Purdue. Student tickets are super affordable and give a closeup view of the court. As always, the Buckeyes in the student section were lively and loud as the team cruised on to a win.

School continues grinding along at Fisher for MAcc students. This semester gives us a lot more freedom with electives because there are zero required classes. It's definitely a different experience and it's pretty exciting to hear about all of the diverse electives my friends are taking.

MAcc Students with Andy FastowRecently at Ohio State there was a very exciting opportunity for MAcc students. As a part of our MAcc Talk speaker series (check out my previous post for an overview), Andy Fastow, the former CFO of Enron came to campus. If you aren't as big of an accounting nerd as MAcc students are, you may not know how Enron famously went from one of the largest and most admired companies in the world to nothing in a matter of months.

It's hard to believe that our first semester of the MAcc program is over and we're now starting a new one. It seems like we were all going to our first classes only a few weeks ago. Now that I've survived that LOOONG drive back home to Wisconsin - and then back to Columbus ... here are some of my reflections on my first semester in the MAcc program. Hopefully they can be useful to some of you readers out there.Leverage Each Other's StrengthsThe MAcc program places a ton of emphasis on group work to prepare students for future careers because that's how the actual working world will be.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Michael Kaufman Ortiz, the campus ambassador for the KPMG Masters of Accounting and Data Analytics (MADA) program here at the Ohio State University (OSU). After his studies at the University of Puerto Rico- Mayagüez, he is thrilled to be here at OSU as a MADA participant. Here are a few questions I ran by him to learn more about what this program is all about.
What is MADA?
MADA helps move KPMG professionals into the data age by providing them with the tools necessary to succeed in an increasingly technology-driven world.
