Anyone who has followed or read my past posts knows I came to Fisher to pursue an MBA in Operations and Supply Chain. Still, the beauty of an MBA is that you have the opportunity to explore your other interests and subjects that can add value to your decision-making. Classes on marketing and analytics sparked an interest and I was looking to further my knowledge in these fields. I recommend the following courses to anyone interested in marketing and analytics:
Last month I attended a Six Sigma Workshop during lunch with Professor Peg Pennington. It was about an hour and students with non-operating majors were encouraged to attend. I had my Matching Supply and Demand class with Professor Hill yesterday -- boy was I glad I had that ops review a few weeks before! Professor Hill's class will focus on different things than what we discussed during lunch, but the workshop was the perfect jolt back to the "ops world".
It's no secret, I love to join clubs and organizations. You can ask people in my program! If possible, I would join every single club at Fisher. However, that isn't always the best idea...it's better to join organizations that align with your passions, interests and future career goals (I know, sounds kind of corny - but it's true!)
The second quarter is officially complete… unfortunately, so is Spring Break. Despite only having one week off (and the fact that it snowed), my spring break was a much needed escape from the hectic life of an MBA student. During my vacation, I was able to schedule two interviews; one with Cardinal Health and the other with Battelle Memorial Institute. I was also able to return home to Cincinnati for several days to spend some time with my family.
It has recently become very evident that I will have little free time this quarter. Between working on my core classes and my recently invigorated summer internship search, this might be my busiest quarter of the year. I guess for the benefit of my MBA degree, the Bengals lost in the playoffs yesterday to the NY Jets. There is no doubt that with my team out of the playoffs, I will now have significantly more time available each week. Gone are the days of spending endless hours
