Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

I quickly found that everyone at COP27 was interested in problem-solving to create more sustainable practices.

As a queer woman in the process of coming out and earning an MBA in a new country, I was worried about being accepted and being able to live my life to the fullest, both professionally and personally.

I always wanted to launch my own media relations and marketing business. Fuqua gave me the tools and the community I needed.

I have always been very curious about the skills I would need for a career in private equity, but I came to Fuqua with very little knowledge of the field.

Rather than coming to campus saying “I want to join XYZ club,” think about what you want to gain and stay flexible. There may be even better avenues to accomplish your end goals for an MBA.

After talking with Fuqua faculty, I knew the dual MEM/MBA degree at Duke University was the perfect place for me to dive deep into the blue economy.

My identities made me the person I am but also came with unique barriers to pursuing my MBA journey, whether mental, emotional, or financial.

As an international student living in the U.S. for the first time, it was really challenging to recruit for a job as the process was new to me.

It happened every time. Almost intuitively, as I walked into a packed room of investment banking prospects, I immediately knew exactly how many other women were present. You could usually count us on one hand.

As the clock rushes towards the end of classes on Fridays, students across Fuqua get a little excited to head over to the Fox Center...it’s Fuqua Friday!
