MHRM

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.

I started my spring semester with a resolve to embrace the holistic graduate experience. I wanted to step outside my routine, expose myself to new experiences, and actively participate in the social and cultural events on campus. 

I recently finished my mid-terms for the first semester of my MHRM program, and I would like to share an experience that stood out to me and turned out to be one of the most engaging assessments so far. My professor for the Future of HR class, replaced our usual written mid semester exam with a debate on contemporary HR topics. 

One of the main reasons I chose the Fisher MHRM program was its focus on learning by doing. I did not want a degree that only lived in textbooks. I wanted one that challenged me to apply ideas, solve real-world problems, and learn alongside people with diverse perspectives.
