When I started my MBA journey at Fisher, I arrived in Columbus full of academic expectations and, honestly, a lot of curiosity. Coming from Peru—a country where sports are pure emotion but move to a different rhythm—I did not expect to find a community whose heartbeat seemed to sync with one single sport: football.

Before coming to business school, I had worked at an organization for almost seven years. Every time someone asked why I stayed that long—a rare trait in my generation—my answer was always the same: I enjoyed the people I worked with. For me, community (network) has always been a critical determinant of how far you can go in life.
