Or should I say, My Buddies?
I decided to take part in the Fisher Connections program that was set up over the summer. The purpose of the program is to match up incoming students who might be moving from other parts of the state, country or even world, with students who are already here. These current students can then help with living arrangements, furniture shopping, tips on where to eat and live, etc.
We've officially turned the page to November and half the quarter is over. As always, I'm left wondering where it went...and where my blog entries went too! For any future students, know that autumn quarter (next year - autumn semester) is not only the longest, but it is also filled with welcome-back activities, football games, fall festivals, group meetings and all the intricacies of grad school.
On April 15th, the Graduate Human Resources Association hosted the First Annual HR Summit: "Fast Forward: The Trends That Will Change the Way You Do Business." While there have been many GHRA events I wish I could have attended, this summit was one not to miss.
Here at FCOB it's that wonderful time of year where student organizations elect next year's executive boards and choose who will take the reins from those of us that are graduating in June. As VP of GHRA it's been very challenging, yet very rewarding to be involved in planning programs for our members to take part in this past year.
Last quarter I wrote a little bit about the mentorship program through GHRA. Through the Human Resources Association of Central Ohio, members of Fisher's GHRA are matched to mentors in the human resources field. I was very excited about meeting my mentor last quarter and finding out about the "real world" of HR.
