The friendliness we experienced during BDW continued after we moved to Durham and joined the big Fuqua family. Johnny soon made great friends at school and I have made good friends by attending partner-friendly activities during orientation and gatherings hosted by the Fuqua Partners club.

As a queer woman in the process of coming out and earning an MBA in a new country, I was worried about being accepted and being able to live my life to the fullest, both professionally and personally.

As the clock rushes towards the end of classes on Fridays, students across Fuqua get a little excited to head over to the Fox Center...it’s Fuqua Friday!

I knew the experience and skills gained through an MBA would help make me an even better HR leader.
