Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

Embarking on the MBA adventure at Fuqua is like stepping into a world of endless possibilities.

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.

I cannot rave enough about the different ways to gain experience at Fuqua that are non-traditional and highly rewarding.

Team Fuqua is much more than a saying, and nothing made this clearer than during triathlon training.

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

Navigating a new job market and weighing your options is tough, especially when there are variables with your partner’s career.
