December has arrived, and I´m approaching halfway on my SMF journey! As I've shared in my previous posts, this semester has been truly incredible. From networking with top alumni currently working at firms like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, EY, etc., to being selected as part of the SMF Student Council, to traveling to Las Vegas to represent Fisher College of Business at Prospanica, the largest conference for Latino professionals in the USA! Core Capstone Project

In October, I attended the Prospanica Conference in Las Vegas. The event was a whirlwind of networking, resume-enhancing sessions, and interviews with hiring managers. Companies ranging from Fortune 500 to niche players provided valuable insights, and I'm eager to apply what I've learned to secure a full-time position in Finance. The conference also showcased universities, including Ohio State, where I represented my program. Beyond professional networking, the Vegas backdrop added an exciting dimension to the experience.

Hi! As we near the end of the first session, I reflect on the balance between academic challenges and leisure activities. I describe our exciting paintball day, where 20 of us SMF students bonded over intense battles. Thanks to a friend's initiative, we also enjoyed a culinary adventure, trying delicious Indian dishes in Columbus. Our weekend wouldn't be complete without cheering for The Ohio State football team, and we celebrated a thrilling victory. Stay tuned for future blog posts about Columbus exploration, football game experiences, job-seeking, and more.

Hey there, future Fisher College of Business Specialized Master in Finance (SMF) students! I'm Stefano Mejia, hailing from Lima, Peru, and I'm here to take you on a thrilling ride through my life as an international student in the SMF program at Fisher. So, buckle up and get ready for an exciting journey full of adventures, tips, and insider insights!

It seems like this program has flown by. It does not seem long ago when we were starting the SMF program with the two week pre-term class in August. And now, here we are, getting ready to graduate. The seven week classes makes this go by so quickly, but I have learned so much during my experience.
