Transitioning from one country to another as an international student is an adventure filled with learning, growth, and the inevitable challenge of adapting to a new culture. Having recently returned from London, UK, where I went to collect my MSc degree certificate, I've had time to reflect on my journey and the plethora of experiences that shaped my time abroad. Now as an MBA student here in the USA, I share insights and tips for fellow students embarking on a similar path from Europe to the USA.

As an MBA student, your journey is not just about acquiring knowledge—it's also about forging connections and building relationships that can have a profound impact on your future career. Whether it was in the 1960s or today, networking has always been a crucial talent in the business world, and business school is the ideal setting to develop it. In this blog post, we'll explore the art of networking and building relationships in business school.

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.

This month marks the end of my first year at the Fisher College of Business, and what a year it has been! I cannot put into words how amazing the experience was and how thoroughly I enjoyed being a part of it. I have made some lifelong connections and built some strong networks during the course of this program. Reflecting back, I would love to highlight the plethora of skills that I have acquired in such a limited amount of time.
