Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

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

As co-presidents of the Jewish Business Association (JBA), we are passionate about contributing to Fuqua’s diverse community.

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.

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.

Because of the sense of community Fuqua generates, successful alumni aim to give back.

The biggest takeaway from this journey for me is that I know I have so many people who support me and will advocate for me, for Taiwanese, and for East Asians.

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!
