We experienced unforgettable moments, from meeting business leaders at the forefront of climate innovation to standing inside a power plant that runs on imported trash and wandering through Arctic towns without a sunset.

Traveling to South Africa was a reset in how I viewed human connection, social cues, and unspoken norms. As an MBA student used to efficiency, deadlines, and data, I found myself slowing down to absorb the culture around me.

This opportunity was a pivotal experience to leverage my global professional background and test my career ambitions in an impactful, real-world context.

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

I cannot rave enough about the different ways to gain experience at Fuqua that are non-traditional and highly rewarding.

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

I found many exciting and compelling opportunities to develop professional skills and abilities through experiential learning.

Global Week is an event celebrating Fuqua’s international diversity and inclusivity, and typically it’s a great opportunity for Fuqua students to showcase their home cultures and interact with alumni with international backgrounds.
