Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

As I navigated the admissions process, I felt that Fuqua had a better infrastructure in place for students interested in recruiting beyond the traditional paths.

We got involved with Net Impact because it was a community of like-minded individuals that we could learn from while gaining access to more relevant recruiting and professional resources.

I came into Fuqua wanting to pursue a career switch without a well-defined plan, yet confident that this community would help me find my way.

I entered Fuqua with a plan to actively practice whatever I learned in the classroom through something of my own.

Each role I held gave me a lesson that didn’t just prepare me for an MBA — it clarified why an MBA was the right next step.

I’m thankful to learn alongside others who understand that business and climate cannot be disentangled.

At Fuqua, our belief that every student deserves meaningful work shapes how we teach, how we build community, and how we support students through the job search and beyond.

After discussion with classmates, interns from other schools, and those who have done MBAs in years gone by, I summarized some of my reflections on internship season.
