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.

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.
