How can business play a role to create a sustainable future? This is a question I had been asking myself when I worked in the climate change policy sector, prior to pursuing my MBA.

I was curious but not sure about pursuing investment banking, until arriving at Fuqua.

I knew the experience and skills gained through an MBA would help make me an even better HR leader.

For those of you that are planning to submit an application this year, here are some things that have changed and some advice on how to approach the application and the overall school research and admissions process.

I would describe Fuqua as my lifetime school, where I have grown professionally and personally, where I learned important life lessons, and where I met lifelong friends.

before the two years vanish between the rush of the classes, the employer events and the numerous events at Fuqua, here are some tips that will help you explore the “Bull City” to the fullest.

I knew I wanted to participate in the CASE i3 Consulting Practicum program, which pairs a team of select MBA students with an impact investing question that a company is wrestling with.

The Mentored Study program at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business provided the perfect fit for me to further explore my previous experience in venture capital in a real-world work setting while gaining exposure to the tech industry.

Global Week is an event celebrating Fuqua’s international diversity and inclusivity, and typically it’s a great opportunity for Fuqua students to showcase their home cultures and interact with alumni with international backgrounds.

Companies from different industries come to Fuqua’s campus with fascinating challenges, so I was very intentional when handpicking just a few of them to participate in, focusing on gaining exposure to industries I was genuinely interested in.
