Category: Orientation

In just a few weeks (March 1–3), we will be welcoming Full-Time MBA admitted students to Red Carpet Weekend 2019! This gives them the chance to visit Columbus and the Fisher College of Business, meet some of their future classmates, as well as learn about the opportunities available at Fisher.

We started out the MAcc program with a week-long orientation to introduce us to the program and meet all of our classmates. We got to hear from professors and MAcc alum about what to expect from our upcoming year. We also got to hear about all the career services offered and even had a networking reception. I think everyone would agree that the highlight of our week was when we went to Summit Vision.

Hello there! My name is Mai Erana Salmeron and I am a first-year MHRM student at Fisher College of Business. I want to start by telling you about my background, especially how and why I am here today. Then I would love to share, as my title expresses, the first impressions, challenges, and action steps I am embracing as I start my year as a graduate student at Fisher.

Meeting new people can be intimidating. Even for folks who have committed their careers to working directly with people every day as Human Resource professionals. So how do you help 40+ strangers get acquainted with each other and become comfortable working together? You bus them out to the woods and facilitate as they solve a series of challenges and push themselves out of their comfort zones. That's right…

At Fisher, incoming MBA students are assigned to a core team that will tackle projects together. As the year comes to a close, this is a huge shout-out to my amazing core team a.k.a. Team 9! Neethi, Adam, Sangyoun (Shin) and Andrew have made the core team adventure a valuable experience from the start!
