MHRM

Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in a student panel at Fisher's Preview Day, where I shared my experience in the Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM) program, some of my personal highlights, and what life at Ohio State has been like. As I answered questions from prospective students, I found myself reflecting on my own journey and feeling grateful for the opportunity to play a small part in someone else's graduate school experience.

As I get closer to graduation this semester, I have been thinking about all the experiences I wanted to have before my time at Ohio State comes to an end. Beyond classes, assignments, and everything that comes with graduate school, I wanted to make time to experience some of the traditions that make being a Buckeye so special.

The Fisher Business Career Fair is a great way for students to connect with companies looking for incoming talent. MHRM students were encouraged to attend this event in order to connect with professionals and learn more about these businesses.

This summer, I had the opportunity to intern as an HR Organizational Development Intern at Microbiologics as part of the practicum requirement for my MHRM program. Looking back, I realize that the experience began long before my first day of work. From navigating the internship search to stepping into a professional environment and learning to apply what I had studied in the classroom, the entire journey challenged me to grow not just as an HR professional, but also as a person.

In preparation for the ongoing internship recruitment season, I will be discussing two ways MHRM helps students with interviewing and how students can improve communication during interviews overtime.

The MHRM program is unique for a graduate program in the way that it emphasizes community engagement and collaboration. My personal relationships built within my cohort have been a highlight of my MHRM experience so far! MHRM encourages this connection through culture and special unique events.

Reflecting on my two semesters at the Fisher College of Business, I have been thinking about the skills I have developed that helped me move from just getting through grad school to truly thriving.

  When I signed up for the MHRM case competition, I saw it as an opportunity to step outside the classroom and test what I had been learning in a real-world context. What I did not fully anticipate was how immersive the experience would feel like. Working in teams, we were challenged to understand the problem, develop a strategy, and present a solution within a limited timeframe. Here are three key lessons I took away from the experience: 1. Time management and presentation matter just as much as ideas

One of the reasons I chose the Fisher College of Business for my Master’s in Human Resource Management was its strong alumni network and sense of community. From the very beginning of my journey, I have experienced how intentionally meaningful connections with peers, professors, and alumni are cultivated.
