Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

The MBA, for me, is the perfect tool to become a better leader, to learn from the experiences of people from different industries and cultures, and to understand how the world is changing and transforming.

As part of its focus on shaping future leaders who embrace diversity, I was happy to see that Fuqua offers many resources to students with religious identities.

To become a leader capable of helping others achieve their high aspirations, I knew I would have to show up, engage, and interact.

While I credit the institution for providing numerous leadership opportunities, my classmates are the ones who have encouraged me to pursue those opportunities.

It is evident to me that returning to Fuqua feels like coming back to a second home—a place where I am known, valued, and supported.

While Fuqua offers a wealth of diversity, it has also given me a space to reconnect and support my Latinx peers.

When applying to business schools last year, it seemed like most of the schools were very similar, but a campus visit helped me understand Fuqua's values.

Because of the sense of community Fuqua generates, successful alumni aim to give back.

Funding earned in the Fuqua Fast Pitch competition and CASE is supporting my entrepreneurial vision.

The entrepreneurial mindset is about recognizing real challenges coupled with a desire to solve those challenges and create a systematic approach to deliver a solution.
