The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business

Providing tomorrow's business leaders with the foundation needed to succeed in business today. Because at Fisher, we don’t produce business graduates. Fisher

At The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business, we believe business leadership requires a distinct and nuanced set of skills for a business world that’s changing at a pace never before seen. Innovation and entrepreneurial leadership create new markets and disruption virtually overnight. A strong global perspective challenges familiar traditions and forges untold partnerships. All of these test the balance of risk and reward, and the principles necessary to navigate new ideas and opportunities. These central themes—innovation and entrepreneurial spirit, global awareness and principled leadership—are essential to what distinguishes Fisher graduates when they enter the work force. These themes provide a consistent backdrop for our curriculum and programs; they guide our thought leaders; and they directly reflect the values of our college’s namesake. These ideas are essential for a singularly engaging and impactful experience on our campus, and for success beyond it. We produce business leaders. "Buildings are enabling devices. It is not just the walls, but what goes on inside, that brings out the best in our students and empowers them to impact their communities." - Max M.

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in the workplace, one message stood out at this year's Cullman Symposium: technology may accelerate our work, but people remain the differentiator.

Hosted by Fisher and The Ohio State University Center for Innovation Strategies, the symposium brought together business leaders, innovators, alumni, students and faculty to explore how organizations can scale AI while maintaining human judgment, authenticity, critical thinking and trust.

From discussions on AI governance and strategy to conversations about workplace culture and customer engagement, attendees examined what it means to innovate with intention and keep people at the center of decision-making.

For more than four decades, David Jacobs (BSBA ’84) has remained deeply connected to Fisher, giving back as an alumnus, leader, mentor, Dean’s Advisory Council member and champion for student success.

We were proud to celebrate Dave and Brenda Jacobs, honor their extraordinary philanthropy, and officially dedicate the Jacobs Family Business Lab, a transformative new space that will help prepare future generations of Business Buckeyes for careers in finance, technology and beyond.

From expanding access to Bloomberg terminals and real-time market data to creating a hands-on environment for experiential learning, the lab reflects Dave’s belief in the power of education and his commitment to helping students discover and pursue their own paths to success.

His legacy at Fisher is not only the space that bears his family's name, but the opportunities it will create for students for years to come.

From launching her own baking business in high school to gaining hands-on experience in the hospitality industry, Hannaniah Matthews is turning her passion into a career.
