Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

I believe that an MBA will provide access to valuable resources and a support ecosystem that will fuel my success as an entrepreneur.

Sometimes people ask me why entrepreneurship education should be taught within our MBA program if most students don’t aspire to launch a venture immediately post-graduation. The answer is twofold.

Here are some of the key takeaways and my thoughts from the 2021 employment report on what’s behind the shifts and trends.  

At Fuqua, there's no shortage of avenues for support when it comes to academics, career, and new opportunities to stretch yourself. The Duke MBA Marketing Club is a great example.

In those interactions, I made the decision to engage in entrepreneurship—the ultimate hustle.

Within Fuqua’s Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital Club, we are focused on so much more than just that stereotypical tech entrepreneur (though we have some of those, too).

How can business play a role to create a sustainable future? This is a question I had been asking myself when I worked in the climate change policy sector, prior to pursuing my MBA.

I was curious but not sure about pursuing investment banking, until arriving at Fuqua.

The Mentored Study program at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business provided the perfect fit for me to further explore my previous experience in venture capital in a real-world work setting while gaining exposure to the tech industry.

I knew that the prospect of landing a career in venture capital (VC) was risky, given the limited job openings but it was a risk I was ready to take.
