One of my favorite experiences this past year has been volunteering in MAcc Gives Back. This event occurs every spring and is open for participation by all MAcc students and professors. The goal is to "give back" to the local community of Columbus. This year, different groups went to different locations. My group volunteered at Clarfield Farm. This is a local farm that produces healthy produce for the Ohio community, and works closely with the Mid-Ohio Foodbank.Once we arrived at the farm, we received a brief tour of the facility and greenhouses to see current growing plants.

The application process is over, and now, you're wondering if Fisher College of Business is the right choice for you for a MAcc program. I interviewed a fellow co-worker and MAcc classmate Jiajun (Jasmine) Wei to gain valuable insights into her background and why she decided to come to Fisher.Where are you from?I originally came from Harbin, China.Where did you earn your undergraduate degree?Augustana College, Illinois.

Football withdrawals were a real thing for me this spring. I missed having plans on Saturday to be with friends and enjoy a game in the stadium. If this is a concern for you, don't fret: there's basketball! I went to my first game in the "NutHouse" (Schottenstein Center) for the Ohio State vs. Iowa game. You can buy student tickets for $14 or less per game, and occasionally, there are free student tickets! In addition to really cheap tickets, the seats are amazing!

This past week, Columbus had about five inches of snow fall over one night! I remember looking at the weather app hoping the forecast for snow wouldn't be true, but when I woke up the following morning, everything was white outside-- with a few flurries still coming down. I thankfully live within a 15-minute walking distance to campus, so I didn't worry about trying to move my car. Being from the South, I have seen snow before, but I'm used to everything closing and no one leaving home when even a hint of bad weather arises.

This past December, I went to the "Big Apple" to spend a few days admiring the Christmas features. A majority of Hallmark movies and the famous Home Alone 2 took place in New York City, but I can say the movies do not do the city justice! The atmosphere is truly amazing with gorgeous lit trees and decorations throughout the city. The most famous feature everyone wants to see is the tree at Rockefeller. While the tree was enormous and beautiful with an ice skating rink below, my favorite feature was the angels that directly faced the tree pictured below.
