Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

FuquaVision is one of Fuqua's oldest clubs.

Fuqua offered me a safe environment to take risks and move outside my comfort zone.

Pursuing an MBA at Fuqua has been a transformative experience, made possible by the support of friends, classmates, and others.

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.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to do activities that I love while building my leadership skills and creating lifelong friends along the way.

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

I’m now a first-year MBA student but in the second year of my dual degree program, and I can say, unequivocally, that I made the right decision.

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.

Rather than coming to campus saying “I want to join XYZ club,” think about what you want to gain and stay flexible. There may be even better avenues to accomplish your end goals for an MBA.

My identities made me the person I am but also came with unique barriers to pursuing my MBA journey, whether mental, emotional, or financial.
