On Friday, April 21, the entire Fuqua community was thrilled to welcome the Daytime MBA Class of 2019 to campus for Blue Devil Weekend (BDW). Admitted students, partners, and their families—about 260 total guests—traveled to Durham from 14 different countries and 32 states for an amazing weekend.

Our Admissions staff and BDW Leadership Team collaborated with current students, Fuqua staff across departments, and over 75 Fuqua alumni to ensure that our admitted students experienced the true spirit of our community. Here are some of the highlights from one of our favorite events of the year.
