Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Reaching Out MBA (ROMBA) Conference in Chicago. During three days full of insightful sessions, a vast career fair, and relationship-building events, I and some of my Fisher peers connected with many MBA students and industry professionals representing the LGBTQ+ community.

I recently returned from the National Black MBA Association career fair conference and that has left me buzzing with a ton of inspiration and insights. Career fairs can be a goldmine of opportunities for MBA students looking to kickstart their professional journey or advance their existing careers and as an MBA student, attending such events can be a game-changer, but making the most of them requires careful planning, strategies and etiquette.

As the preterm came to a close, Ohio State's Fisher College of Business decided to celebrate the end and foster connections among students with a delightful picnic at the scenic Park of Roses in Columbus. This event brought together 1st and 2nd-year MBA students, professors, and the Fisher leadership team, creating a fantastic opportunity for networking, relaxation, and pure enjoyment.

What are the primary purposes of career fairs/conferences while in the MBA program at Ohio State, and what can you do to prepare? Here are some great tips for international students who may not be familiar with these types of events.
