Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

Navigating which courses to take can be overwhelming, especially when your interests might differ from your closest friends and classmates.

Both Duke basketball and Fuqua understand that success isn't just about individual talent — it's about building a culture of excellence, fostering collaboration, and maintaining resilience under pressure.

A major part of my decision to attend Fuqua was to develop as a leader.

Looking back, the Fuqua Client Consulting Practicum (FCCP) was more than just a course — it was a transformative experience that solidified my career goals and provided me with lasting friendships and professional connections.

The excitement of starting my MBA journey was matched only by its challenges.

Sometimes the best way to find your path is to stop looking for it so hard. Just walk.

As a second-year student, I’ve approached this chapter of my journey with intentionality, striving to maximize all the unique opportunities this experience has to offer.

The Fuqua staff, at all levels, went above and beyond to give us the support we needed even while they were navigating all this uncertainty for the first time themselves.

In just five days, I experienced the heart of Team Fuqua: a place where collaboration thrives, kindness abounds, and every voice matters.

Looking back, I feel that those intense weeks of travel and networking helped me become a better investment banking candidate.
