Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

As I celebrate graduation, I am proud. Proud of the community I found, the perspective I contributed, and the person I became here.

I was ready to start my MBA when I received life-shattering news.

Champions of Team Fuqua who choose to invest a lot of energy into the community are the reason we really believe in our ability to thrive in the long term.

I came into Fuqua wanting to pursue a career switch without a well-defined plan, yet confident that this community would help me find my way.

Before arriving at business school, many of us thought we knew what to expect: rigorous academics, ambitious classmates, and long days juggling competing priorities.

Being part of the Fuqua Special Olympics Club's legacy has shaped how we think about service, teamwork, and what it really means to show up for others.

Whether you’re an international partner or a domestic one, moving to Durham can feel like a tough decision for many.

I've learned that you find your place in the Fuqua community not by changing who you are, but by consistently demonstrating the values of decency and contribution.

When I decided to hang up my Army uniform after eight years as an engineer officer, I knew I was stepping into unfamiliar territory.

Through the exhaustion, anxiety, and uncertainty, I found strength, growth, and community.
