FROM Fisher Grad Life: Three Things I Learned in Business School Was … |
It’s hard to believe that our first semester of the MAcc program is over and we’re now starting a new one. It seems like we were all going to our first classes only a few weeks ago. Now that I’ve survived that LOOONG drive back home to Wisconsin – and then back to Columbus … … Continue reading "Three Things I Learned in Business School Was …" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Christmas Away From Home |
I may not look like it, but I was born in Moscow, Russia. Celebrating Christmas was one of my family’s favorite traditions back then. When we moved back to Vietnam, the atmosphere just wasn’t the same without the snow and the cold (very odd reasons), so we just stopped enjoying the occasion altogether. When I … Continue reading "Christmas Away From Home" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: My best and saddest moment of this semester |
It’s still quite surreal for me sitting here, back from being in Houston for my winter break knowing that I have made it through half of the program!

FROM Fisher Grad Life: Full-time Job Search Prep |

Having established relationships … Continue reading "Full-time Job Search Prep" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Fisher Follies |
While the Fisher College of Business has many excellent clubs and organizations that work to benefit its student’s professional and cultural experiences, only one organization is focused on providing students with financial support when they fall under some unexpected misfortune.

FROM Fisher Grad Life: My favorite Ohio State on-campus fitness classes |

FROM Fisher Grad Life: Stacked with Talent |
It can be a challenge to maintain one’s morale in the winter months, including here in the Midwest.

Last week, Elise Zawacki, Eric Luehmann, and … Continue reading "Stacked with Talent" |

FROM Fisher Grad Life: Always Improving! |
I hope that your New Year is off to a good start! The past few weeks were very much needed after a busy and fast-paced semester.

FROM Fisher Grad Life: How to utilize the Fisher MAcc program to be eligible for the CPA exam in another state |
Getting a Master’s degree in one state but sitting for the CPA exam in another state can be a tricky situation depending on the jurisdictions involved.

FROM Fisher Grad Life: First Session of Second/Final Semester |
SMF students have a lot more flexibility/choice in the second semester since we’re done with all but one core class (Finance Consulting Practicum). There are a variety of electives one can choose from within the finance department but also from other departments like Management, Accounting, etc. The following three classes are my electives for the … Continue reading "First Session of Second/Final Semester" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: OSU is Balling Out |
As I have mentioned several times before, it’s my fourth year here at Ohio State, and before this year, I had never attended an Ohio State basketball game (shocking, right?!).

School continues grinding along at Fisher for MAcc students. This semester gives us a lot more freedom with electives because there are ZERO required classes.

Over the weekend I attended one of my fellow classmates, Karina Ribeiro Teixeira, birthday celebration.

FROM Fisher Grad Life: Intro to Organizational Business Coaching |
One of the reasons I enjoy the MAcc program so much is because it allows me the flexibility to take elective classes that spark my professional interests. As a student who one day aspires to be the CFO of a company, I wanted to take extra HRM (human resource management) classes to understand more about … Continue reading "Intro to Organizational Business Coaching" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: It’s not just studying and networking! |
You would think that graduate students are all studying, networking and no fun (the last part was kind of exaggerated, but you know what I mean). However, we do have those days where we would gather and goof around. A couple of weeks ago, after our midterms, our SMF class along with our professors, decided to … Continue reading "It’s not just studying and networking!" |
