About Fisher

Awards

Friends of the college gather each autumn at the Fisher Alumni Awards to celebrate distinguished alumni for special achievement in business, career accomplishments and community contributions.

Named in honor of the late Dr. W. Arthur Cullman, a respected scholar at Fisher and nationally recognized marketing expert, Cullman Executive Award Winners are honored for their promotion of business excellence through education.

To recognize those in the corporate community who work to achieve diversity goals, particularly at the college, the Fisher College Educational and Professional Diversity Committee bestows the Fisher College of Business Diversity Business Awards.

Les and Abigail Wexner created the Fisher Council on Global Trade and Technology in 1998 to honor the lifelong achievements of both the event's keynote speaker and college namesake Max M. Fisher.

The Fisher Prize has been awarded to world leaders as well as thought leaders who have dedicated themselves to tackling the world's biggest problems.

The Pace Setters Awards is Fisher's highest honor, given to students selected on the basis of academic performance and demonstrated leadership ability. Nominated and voted on by faculty, staff, and peers, these undergraduates and graduate students receive certificates, pins and scholarships at the spring ceremony.

The Rosenfield Family Prize for Excellence in Security Analysis is awarded each quarter to a graduate or undergraduate student at The Ohio State University who develops the best security analysis report on a company each quarter. The prize targets students in the Student Investment Management (SIM) program.

Fisher applauds the extraordinary accomplishments of its faculty in both graduate and undergraduate programs through a variety of teaching awards:

• Executive MBA Teaching Awards
• Master of Accounting Teaching Awards
• Marketing and Logistics Teaching Awards
• MBA Teaching Awards
• Master of Human Resource Management Teaching Awards
• Pace Setters Teaching Awards
• Undergraduate Teaching Awards
• Undergraduate Instructor Awards

Fisher recognizes the invaluable contribution of its staff members to the success of the college. Staff members are honored for leadership, years of service and going "above and beyond" their formal job responsibilities each spring at the faculty and staff Recognition Luncheon, where the Fisher community also celebrates milestone work anniversaries, student-nominated undergraduate instructors, the Fisher Inclusion Champions and college committee chairs.
