(First, about the title: excerpt from To a Mouse, which is a poem written by Robert Burns and is the inspiration for the Steinbeck title Of Mice and Men, and which is commonly translated as "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.")
The whole community of Fisher is very supportive and encouraging. The first three weeks were an orientation period where we got a dash of Fisher.
The moment I entered into the campus, I felt like family. In the classes, in the elevator, in the library everywhere there is someone reaching out to help. Everyday is a new and exciting day and miracles can happen anywhere around ‘Fisher’.
Even though I've been living in metro-Columbus for the past two years, there are ALWAYS new, exciting things to do! Let me give you some examples:
Well, let me tell you!
You can call me Stacey, Stace, "hey you", or that crazy car lady - they all will probably get a response :)
Where I'm from: I grew up in Southeast Michigan (pause for boo-ing).
What I did in school: I went to Michigan State University for a B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering, and then stuck around an extra year to get an M.S. in Manufacturing & Engineering Management. I graduated in 2007, and moved to Columbus for a job with Owens Corning.
Where I've worked:
I'm teaching a course this year called "Applied Business Skills and the Environment of Business" or BA499 as Ohio State calls it. Every business major has to go through it and some students refer to it as "Public Speaking 101." The course focuses on three key areas: 1. team building skills, 2. communication/presentation skills, and 3. ethics/corporate social responsibility. So far it's gone well, but it has really made me appreciate my professors a lot more.
