Looking back, the Fuqua Client Consulting Practicum (FCCP) was more than just a course — it was a transformative experience that solidified my career goals and provided me with lasting friendships and professional connections.

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

The highlight of our FCCP experience was undeniably the strong collaboration and mutual support that empowered us to tackle complex business challenges as a unified team.

Reflecting on my journey during my first year at Fuqua, I am grateful for the experiences and opportunities that challenged me and shaped my career path.

The CASE i3 Consulting Program was an extremely valuable experience to learn about capital allocation and impact management and measurement.

Fuqua on Board pairs MBA students with local nonprofits to serve as board members, provided me with an unparalleled opportunity to gain hands-on experience.

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.

I aimed to pivot from consulting to marketing, which I was successfully able to do. However, an MBA at Fuqua not only facilitated this transition but allowed me to explore alternative career interests, such as venture capital.

When I was applying to business schools, I knew that one of the main reasons I was getting an MBA was to pivot into marketing.
