Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

For those who can dream, and those with a strong support system, there is no place such as far away.

Fuqua offered me a safe environment to take risks and move outside my comfort zone.

These experiences and learnings have not only prepared me for the business world but have also shaped me into a more resilient and empathetic individual.

Embarking on an enriching MBA trip during my second year at Fuqua taught me about leadership, organization and personal growth.

I aimed to pivot from consulting to marketing, which I was successfully able to do. However, an MBA at Fuqua not only facilitated this transition but allowed me to explore alternative career interests, such as venture capital.

Dreaming is simple, but fear and discomfort often set in when turning our dreams into reality.

Passionate about the impact we could make in our respective fields, we came to Fuqua looking for meaningful opportunities to make a difference.

I am grateful for learning opportunities like having guest speakers in class and attending conferences to hear from the world’s foremost thought leaders tackling the world’s greatest climate problems.

While I initially struggled to build a strong community at Fuqua, I eventually found my home here.

As students at Fuqua, we embrace what makes us unique.
