Next week will mark my 2 month anniversary as a Career Counselor in the Simon Graduate School of Business at the University of Rochester. I work with about 60 Master of Science in Business students. The program is a year long and allows students to focus on one of several topics including Accounting, Finance and Marketing. A majority of the students are international, mainly from China and India. These students face a lot of challenges such as, gaining visa status to work in the U.S., competing against students with MBAs and the economy. I love working here though because the students are very focused and motivated. I also love learning about other cultures and interacting with diverse people. My coworkers are also very welcoming and have gone out of their way to help me get acclimated. I've attached some pictures so you can see the beautiful campus (and for my family...my office). University of Rochester is a small private school like my undergrad institution, University of Evansville in Indiana which makes it feel very familiar and cozy.
