Hi everyone! My name is Claire Hinkle, and I am just now starting my fourth week in the SMF Program at Fisher. In the first three weeks, I have taken a final, met with alumni, had several case discussions, completed a workshop with our Career Management Counselor, and am now beginning to ramp things up in the First Session Core Classes. So, while the undergraduate students have just finished syllabus week, we in the SMF program already feel at home here at Fisher. However, I realize that just a few weeks ago I was nervous to start the SMF program.

As I enter my final weeks of the SMF program I wanted to look back and share some of the things I have learned this year.

Hear about my experience in the MAcc program and find some takeaways that will help you succeed.

About a year ago I faced an important decision on which school I would choose to pursue my Master of Accounting. Many of you are in the same boat, so here are some factors I considered in reaching my decision.

During my undergraduate years, cases were something I mostly overlooked as they were few and far between. To me they were just another assignment/reading that I had to get done, and for the most part I would just skim through them without putting too much thought into them. However, I can definitely say I have had a change of heart about them this year. In the SMF program, they have been one of the most important sources of my learning.
