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.

I’m so grateful for everything Fuqua has given me — new friends, new experiences, and a much bigger, more colorful world.

At Fuqua, we strive to create a community that reflects the world’s rich diversity of cultures, experiences, and perspectives.

From building strong friendships to giving back to the community, I’ve expanded my horizons in ways I’ve never imagined.

Fuqua, through its focus on decency and its system for rewarding the portrayal of selected values, makes us all want to do more and be more.

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

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

As a Muslim student at Fuqua, I have felt comfortable, supported, and embraced by the inclusive culture of the institution.

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.

Time moves swiftly when career advancement, international exposure, and fun all compete to be at the core of the MBA experience. So, please put on your seatbelts, and let me take you on a quick 2-year journey.
