Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

Reflecting back on my recruiting journey so far, I am extremely grateful for the endless support I’ve received and the abundant opportunities Fuqua has given me to pursue my career goals.

Fuqua's energy community equipped me with knowledge and confidence, propelling me to a position of influence that I expected to spend my entire career attempting to reach.

The fellowship with the New Ventures group is an experiential learning opportunity that aims to connect Fuqua MBA students with Duke’s startup ecosystem

The entrepreneurial mindset is about recognizing real challenges coupled with a desire to solve those challenges and create a systematic approach to deliver a solution.

There is a lot to learn in the classroom, but nothing compares to putting your knowledge and skills to the test in the real world.

The opportunity to get my hands dirty working on a real-life business problem, and see the impact we were making in real-time, went far beyond classroom learning for me.

I have always been very curious about the skills I would need for a career in private equity, but I came to Fuqua with very little knowledge of the field.

I came to Duke’s Fuqua School of Business with the goal of building out my strategy skillset.

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.
