Zandra Bogar

I picked Fisher College because of its small student body. Being at a small school means you are not just a number to a teacher. You are a person, and the faculty at Fisher make you feel like you can accomplish anything. They are always willing to go the extra mile to help you out. I love the one on one attention I receive and the teachers are available whenever I have a question or just need someone to talk to. It is nice being able to walk around school and members of the Fisher community know you by your first name and greet you with a smile.

I transferred into Fisher College after taking some time off from school to work and to decide what I wanted to do next. Fisher helped make the transition back into school so easy, I quickly began making friends, and was finally enjoying what I was learning.

Fisher College has been an unbelievable resource for me, many of the teachers truly wants you to succeed, and will back you up whenever possible. As a graduating senior in May, I now feel I have the skills and knowledge to go on and achieve any job in my field thanks to Fisher.

I chose Fisher College because I loved the diversity, it's in Boston a great city and when I came for my campus tour the people were great. I loved it. It was a great choice for me because I wanted to try a new city, meet new people, live on campus and become independent. My major is management and I'm in my third year. My business professors have helped me so much throughout the years when I needed it. The Fisher faculty always tries to make everything possible for me to graduate and earn my degree. That is one of the reasons I stayed at Fisher to earn my bachelor's degree. I feel more comfortable knowing my professors and them knowing me because at Fisher, you are not a number.

I chose Fisher College not only for what I wanted to study, but mainly for the perfect location in Boston. Fisher College has the best location for a college that I have seen so far, besides all the other Boston schools. Fisher College is a great school for classes because they aren't huge and you are able to create a relationship with your professors. I am studying Fashion Merchandising and I really enjoy the classes it has to offer. They are fun and interesting, also there is a trip to New York City every year. I hope that you find Fisher College as great as I do.

Melanie Tanger

I transferred to Fisher College after taking a year off from college. I looked into colleges because I was interested in the Fashion Merchandising program. The city of Boston was the perfect location for me: living on Beacon Street, and having the combination of fashion life on Newbury Street and Copley Place with designer stores, and the combination of a great learning environment. I took advantage of the internship program offered through the school and gained the experience of working at a retail store on Newbury Street. I also met many amazing friends and talented professors! I'm graduating this coming May '08 with a Bachelors degree in Business Management with a concentration in Fashion Merchandising, and I'm proud to say I chose Fisher College.

Her experience ranges from starting as a Bookkeeper at a small high tech company to becoming a Supervisor at the international accounting firm, Coopers and Lybrand (now Price Waterhouse Coopers).

"In 1988 after working in industry for many years, I made the decision to establish an Accounting firm. While I was trying to build a client base, I decided to teach on a part time basis. I immediately fell in love with teaching and the students that I taught. It was a wonderful combination of practicing in a profession that I truly enjoyed and being able to introduce the subject of accounting and taxation to students. Because I have been a practitioner for a number of years, my approach to teaching is hands-on. I believe that students benefit from hearing about real life situations. Since the day that I started, I have loved teaching accounting at Fisher College. Over the years, I have had students from all over the United States and the World. I have come to know most of them on a personal level and have learned about their culture and background. Also, I have met a number of students that have the same background as me. In fact many of them graduated from the same high school that I did, Cambridge High and Latin (now Cambridge Rindge and Latin)".

John Hogan

John Hogan teaches accounting and finance courses at Fisher College. He possesses over 17 years of teaching experience and has previously taught at Newbury College, Dean College, Northeastern University and Babson College.  During his career in financial services, John co-founded the fund administration department at Brown Brothers Harriman, a major custodian bank, where he was employed for ten years. Prior to his employment at BBH, he worked at The New England, Moseley Hallgarten, Estabrook and Weeden and Shawmut Bank.

"Before joining the faculty at Fisher College, I was fortunate to have had a 28 year career in financial services. My first position was as a portfolio accountant at a small Boston mutual fund company. From there, I moved to a much larger company that competed in the banking arena. Subsequently, my career path took me to employment at small, medium and larger companies in both individual contributor and management roles. In 1994, I became an adjunct instructor in accounting and finance and immediately found that I loved doing that job more than my primary position. I find teaching at Fisher College is truly rewarding and something that I love to do. I am able to use my business experience to educate students on how the business world operates and to help them develop the accounting and finance skills needed to navigate through the dynamic and evolving business environment."

"My aspiration to share my knowledge came while I was working in the corporate world. I had an opportunity to look back at my education and decided I could provide a hands on and practitioners approach to teaching. For over a decade I have had the pleasure of teaching both traditional students and the adult learners where I use real-world and personal experiences to enhance the learning process."
