Classes are in
full swing, assignments and events are filling your calendar, and your career
search (should be!) moving along. School is officially back in session!
After a month
of being back on campus, we reached out to a few students to see just how
Weatherhead
has already made an impression on each of them.
Manpreet “Preeti” Kaur, MSM-Finance Candidate 2020
What is the most interesting aspect about Cleveland?
I think the most interesting aspect of
Cleveland are the plethora of things to do here, from sports matches to the
theater district and all the nature aspects.
What did you like about orientation?
Some of the aspects that I enjoyed about
orientation were meeting my fellow cohorts, being introduced to the staff, and
the free lunches! It was great meeting people who are in the same boat as me,
it helped me feel less alone, having moved about 400 miles away from home. The
faculty and staff at Weatherhead are incredibly amazing and listening to their
backgrounds was awe inspiring.
What clubs did you join and why?
I joined all the clubs, because they all
seemed so impressive and I wanted to learn as much as I possibly could from my
peers. NETWORKING!
What are you most excited for in this coming year?
I’m most excited to the Speaker Series! This is
something new for me, I have not been exposed to industry experts before and I’m
always blown away by the talent that enters the walls of Weatherhead.
What has been most surprising to you since coming to
Cleveland/joining the program?
Not only are the faculty impressive here, but the students are
incredible. The knowledge these students have and are willing to share with me
is kindness that I did not always get in New York. Being in the Midwest is a different
but good vibe. People are nice here. It’s refreshing.
Suman Bramhacharya, MSM-Business Analytics Candidate 2021
What is the most
interesting aspect about Cleveland?
There is still a lot
to explore for me. I would say the variety of industries. I see a lot of
banking and financial industries around. Cleveland Clinic, one of the top
hospitals in U.S is here. So, there are a lot of career opportunities for
us.
What did you like
about Orientation?
During orientation, we
were given information about academic integrity and policies, campus safety,
health and services, career management resources, sexual misconduct etc. which
I liked a lot. This information is vital to students so that they know how and
where to get help when needed. During separate orientation, specific to my MSBA
program, I got to meet people form Cleveland Cavaliers team and learn how
analytics is being used to improve their business.
What clubs did you
join and why?
I joined multicultural
club, marketing club, operations club, global associations of risk
professionals club and design club. I wanted to get more engaged in club events
and it is a nice way to build new connections, meet new people and develop
professional skills.
What are you most
excited for in this coming year?
I'm most excited for
meeting new people, making connections and building up my professional
network.
What has been most
surprising to you since coming to Cleveland/joining the program?
Diversity. I have
never seen such a huge population of international students on campus
before.
Gina Moss, MAcc Candidate 2021
What is the most interesting
aspect about Cleveland?
Diversity. In
the one month that I've been here, I've met so many people from so many
different counties. Diversity is also seen in food options. I've been
exposed to Asian and Indian food along with frog and octopus.
What did you like
about Orientation?
The best part of
orientation was getting to know my new classmates and other people in my
program.
What clubs did you
join and why?
So far I joined Beta
Alpha Psi. I saw this as a great opportunity to network with the professionals
and build relationships with fellow students.
What are you most
excited for in this coming year?
Graduation. Although
I'll be sad to leave, I'm looking forward to my family and friends flying
in to celebrate this milestone with me.
What has been most
surprising to you since coming to Cleveland/joining the program?
The amount of support
and resources available. Joining the program I thought I'd be alone and left to
navigate the university on my own. Everyone is extremely nice and willing to
help. Also, there is literally an office for everything with tons of people
eager to help.
