Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

Ramadan, a time of reflection, spiritual growth, and community, often reminds us of the warmth of home: shared meals, bustling kitchens, and the joy of breaking fast with loved ones.

From day one, the Fuqua community was incredible in welcoming me and my husband.

The Fuqua staff, at all levels, went above and beyond to give us the support we needed even while they were navigating all this uncertainty for the first time themselves.

Looking back, this trip was the ideal way to close out my first month at Duke.

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

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.

The Team Fuqua spirit is what continues to drive my connections with my classmates, professors, colleagues, and current Fuqua students.

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